A former Michigan state representative from Oakland County who struck an unmarked sewer pipe while riding his bike in Orion Township died Friday, Nov. 13, a family attorney said. Former Republican State Rep.

Macomb board shifts priorities in Executive Mark Hackel's proposed budget

The Macomb County Board of Commissioners shifted prioirities and made trims to County Executive Mark Hackel's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year on Thursday, Nov. 12, including eliminating new positions county departments had requested. In unanimous votes in its Finance/Audit/Budget Committee meeting Thursday afternoon, commissioners amended Hackel's proposed budget, some of which were cuts and some of which were increases or other changes. The proposed budget set aside around $21 million for capital needs, or improvements to county buildings and parking lots, in the general fund. Commissioners didn't want to take as much money out of the county's savings as the county executive had proposed, said Commissioner Phil Kraft. They instead pulled $5 million out of savings and decided to make reductions elsewhere in the budget, allowing the board to set aside $20 million for capital plan projects. "We wanted to reduce the pull from the overall general fund," Kraft said. Hackel offered his proposed budget in early October for the 2027 fiscal year, which begins Jan. 1. The $1.25 billion budget reflects an 11.9% increase over the current budget . The board is slated to adopt the budget Nov. 19. Hackel's budget included 26.8 new full-time equivalent positions,

Predictions: Michigan State football vs. Washington

Angelique S. Chengelis, Connor Earegood, John Niyo, and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News predict the outcome of Saturday's Michigan State-Washington game at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing (4:15 p.m., Big Ten Network/760 AM) . ▶ Angelique S. Chengelis: Most expected MSU head coach Pat Fitzgerald would have his Spartans fired up for the annual in-state rivalry game against Michigan, and he did. The Spartans have not made winning a habit — yet — but considering the number of injury setbacks, Fitzgerald still manages to get them to play hard. The Spartans need to win out to reach bowl eligibility and that starts with Washington, which has had it shares of struggles during Big Ten play (the Huskies are 2-4). Michigan State will have to duplicate its defensive performance and also its run game from the Michigan game, and will have to generate touchdowns, although Liam Boyd's five field goals certainly were enough last weekend. Pick: Washington, 20-16 ▶ Connor Earegood: What will make MSU's win over Michigan even sweeter is if the Spartans can turn this momentum into a bowl game. That's the marching orders heading into this game against Washington, where a mobile quarterback in Demond Williams Jr.
