State of Michigan

The State of Michigan's official 2023 Christmas tree comes from Onaway, Michigan resident Vic Ruppert and his family as a tribute to his late wife Shirley.

With a blizzard warning in effect and a powerful winter storm moving through Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has activated the State Emergency Operations Center as of 1 p.m. Friday.

Michigan is looking to fill more than 250 positions statewide.

The state of Michigan wants to make sure we're prepared for severe weather. WLNS reports that Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared March 24-30 as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Michigan. While severe weather can occur at an time in Michigan, tornados are most common in Michigan during in late spring and early summer...

It means more for the state government than it does for the rest of us, actually.

You could take two weeks off from your REAL job and go live at a Michigan lighthouse for the summer.

We're not just talking tax money. The Michigan Department of Treasury has millions of dollars in lost or forgotten assets from dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, valuables left in safe deposit boxes and stock certificates. Do they owe you?

The Michigan State Senate unanimously passed a measure to create a website for state residents that would allow loved ones and health care providers to know their end-of-life wishes. Senate Bill 723 would create the Peace of Mind Registry, a secure database providing health care providers access to a patient's advance directives. Do you think this is a good thing? Take the poll after the jump.

Happy 175th birthday Michigan! It was on this day in 1837 that Michigan was admitted to the Union as the 26th state. Michigan is known for the Great Lakes that surround it; also for the auto industry and for being the state shaped like a mitten (sorry Wisconsin, I don't know what you look like, but it isn't a mitten).

A Michigan woman is hoping to have a state wide celebration of Michigan's 175th birthday on Thursday. Lisa Diggs started Buy Michigan Now to promote all the things she loves about the state and she needs your help on Thursday.
