June 20, 2011 At least a dozen more Michigan State Police troopers could be assigned to the streets of Flint, but only if their are more jail beds to accommodate those that they arrest.
The State Police say that they are prepared to take on the job of "proactive patrol", which means being active in targeted area's of Flint with the most crime. But there is a catch.
June 16, 2011 More than 250 nonprofit organizations in our community have had their tax exempt status revoked by the IRS for a failure to file annual reports for three years in a row. The local groups include athletic boosters, ministries, and other charitable groups. It could cost you money too, because donations to these groups are no longer able to be used for a tax deduction.
I must admit, with all the crazy weather we had throughout May, I almost forgot that Memorial Day is the unofficial start to Summer around here. It took a couple of 90-degree days put things back into focus for me. You too?

April 12, 2011 This is a cause which I'm personally very excited about, and proud of as well! For the fifth year now, Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Grand Blanc is preparing for its annual food distributions for the area's needy families and individuals.
Each month, HSLC will purchase thousands of pounds of food from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, and distribute it on a first-come, first-served basis.
April 12, 2011 It's a good feeling to see the Weather Ball in Downtown Flint more red than blue these days. After those record-breaking temperatures we had this past Sunday, the summer traditions in and around Flint don't seem as far away as they did when we were shoveling snow just a few weeks ago.
When we were at Back to the Bricks last summer, I noticed how much Downtown Flint has come back to life. The beauty is returning with new buildings, new restaurants, renovations, (we won't mention the Genesee Towers), and the good ol' Weather Ball.
