Michigan Voters Believe Road Conditions Are Worse Than Ever

This winter season has brought a lot of hard cold weather to the state of Michigan. With record low temperatures, the roads have definitely seen better days. Around 80% of voters in Michigan say the road conditions have only gotten worse in the past year after the harsh winter and “political stagnation over paying for improvements.” 

This month, the state Senate started debate over whether they will increase the amount of spending for a road funding package that will go a long way in improving road conditions. 85% of voters think the state isn’t spending enough on roads and 68% are in favor of paying $10 more a month in fees and taxes in order to repair the roads in Michigan. In a state like Michigan, the weather makes the road conditions even more important. In Detroit, 60% of drivers said that either they or a member of their family had gone through a road-related damage to their cars. The state hopes to finalize plans to improve their roads before the summer.

Detroit School Focuses on Anti Girl Bullying Campaign

The 2004 movie “Mean Girls” starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams has been a pop culture hit since it released. The movie focuses on the viciousness among girls in school –which is a very big issue. Ten years later and it’s still an issue. About 160,000 children miss school on a daily basis because they’re afraid of being bullied. 

For this reason, a school in Detroit has decided to put their energy into an anti-bullying campaign whose mission is to teach girls how to deal with bullies, how to handle conflict and how to not be a bystander when witnessing bullying. The Ferndale Public School system paired with Ferndale Youth Assistance has started their “Girls Stand Strong” 4 week anti-bullying program. The program provides girls with methods to react to bullying as well as a plan designed to prevent it in the first place.

Man Dies After Car Accident

Earlier this month along Interstate 75 in Oakland County in Detroit, Michigan, a 49 year old man from Ortonville died in a car crash. The victim was driving southbound on I-75 when a truck that was driving northbound on I-75 ended up losing a tire. The tire rolled its way over the median and guard rail and into the victim’s vehicle. The rolling tire prompted the vehicle to go into a ditch, hit a tree and then come to a stop. Michigan State police made contact with the truck driver whose tire caused the accident and subsequent death and are still investigating the crash.
