Before there was Blades Brown — long before there was Blades Brown — there was Chuck Kocsis. Kocsis' name found its way into the national headlines this weekend, when Brown won the World Wide Technology Championship in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Sunday, Nov. 8. At 19 years, 5 months and 18 days, Brown became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour since Kocsis, a Michigan golfing legend, nearly 100 years ago. Kocsis was 18 years, 6 months and 9 days when he took the title at the Michigan Open in 1931 at Cascade Hills in Grand Rapids. That tournament took place before the PGA Tour officially was organized, but the PGA Tour still recognizes that as an official tournament. Kocsis remains the youngest winner in PGA Tour history. Brown is now the fourth-youngest. They are two of just six teenagers to win on the PGA Tour, in a list that also includes Jordan Spieth. Who was Chuck Kocsis? Kocsis (pronounced: Ko-shiss) was one of the most accomplished golfers ever to come out of Michigan, where he grew up after his family moved from Pennsylvania shortly after he was born. He grew up caddying at old Redford Golf Club and

A lawsuit filed by Zeeland Township that aims to see Michigan’s Public Act 233 declared unconstitutional has been remanded to Ottawa County’s 20th Circuit Court. RWE , the global energy company named as the lawsuit's defendant, “removed" the case to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in August shortly after the initial complaint was filed July 7. The case was temporarily assigned to Judge Paul L. Maloney. RWE has a pending application for Silver Maple Solar, a large-scale solar development, before the Michigan Public Service Commission. The project would be located in Zeeland and Jamestown Townships near the Ottawa Executive Airport. Maloney granted the municipality's motion to remand the case to Ottawa County's 20th Circuit Court on Nov. 10. “First, any decision by this court regarding whether Public Act 233 violates the Michigan Constitution is not binding on (state) courts, so exercising jurisdiction here would not be useful,” Maloney wrote. “Second, exercising jurisdiction over this action would not be fair. The court will not cross the line into state sovereignty by exercising jurisdiction over a case that involves purely questions of state law, especially when many of those questions require interpreting a state constitution.” As of
LANSING — Democratic Gov.-elect Jocelyn Benson's picks for her transition team have included a DTE Energy board member who backed Republican Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate and a leader of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., an agency Benson criticized on the campaign trail. Benson's choices have already drawn pushback from some members of her own party who contended the moves contradicted messages voters attempted to send in the midterm election less than a week earlier. Michigan voters opposed the corruption and the influence of the state's powerful utility companies, said Keith Rodgerson, a Democratic activist who lives in Detroit. "I would say it's a political miscalculation, but I know how things work here," said Rodgerson, referring to the sway major business executives have over Michigan politics. A day after the election, Benson, who's the current secretary of state, announced she had selected four people to serve as the leadership council chairs for her transition into the governor's office. They included Gary Torgow, chairman of Huntington Bank. Torgow is on the board of Detroit-based DTE Energy and the board of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the largest health insurer in the state. Torgow made $300,038 in compensation through his

(The Center Square) – Gov.-elect Jocelyn Benson has announced her transition team, drawing criticism over some of her selections. The current Michigan secretary of state will assume the governor’s office alongside her running mate, state Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, D-Grand Rapids, on Jan. 1. Benson will succeed two-term Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, extending the party’s control of the governor’s office to a third consecutive term. Benson is facing backlash from Democrats and Republicans alike for her picks for her 15-member transition team. Notable team members include: • Huntington Bank Chair Gary Torgow, who also sits on the board of directors of DTE Energy. • President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint Dan Kildee. • Prosecutor of Wayne County Kym Worthy. • President and CEO of Strategic Staffing Solutions Cindy Pasky. All four will serve as leadership council chairs on the transition team, which Benson’s campaign said will “provide expertise and guidance as the incoming administration prepares to deliver on the priorities Michiganders voted for: lowering costs, raising wages, and making government work for the people.” Benson has also thrown her support behind the team. “I am bringing together some of the most experienced and respected leaders
