MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is asking a judge to break up single-company control of passenger ferry service to Mackinac Island, alleging the operator bought out its competition to hike prices on tourists, island residents and seasonal workers. Filed Thursday in Ingham County Circuit Court, the civil antitrust lawsuit targets the Hoffmann Family of Companies, a private equity group led by billionaire David Hoffmann, alongside affiliated marine businesses including Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry and Arnold Transit Co.

Forget Torch Lake, This Hidden Michigan Lake Is A Fishing And Boating Oasis Under 2 Hours From Traverse City

With more length, depth, and volume than any other inland lake in Michigan, Torch Lake is a major draw for good reason. But not everyone wants to follow the crowd — sometimes, hidden gems like Lake Saint Helen make for a great alternative. Located in Roscommon County, this uncrowded lake has a water surface of 2,400 acres with lots of opportunities for aquatic recreation. Days spent here involve casting a line, taking a boat out, and wading in the water. With an 18-mile-long shoreline and a variety of fish species to catch, this underrated destination is an oasis for anglers and boaters, spared from the congestion of popular tourist hubs. The activities are plentiful, and the vistas are memorable as well — as one visitor described: "It's picturesque and numbingly beautiful. I cried when we had to leave. The beauty is astounding."

Charlevoix's Collin Jess gives respect to Menominee, thrilled to help bring title

CHARLEVOIX — Collin Jess has a lot of respect for the Menominee football program. While the junior quarterback is confident in his own Charlevoix team , he’s making no mistakes about disrespecting the Rayders’ regional opponent up next on Saturday, Nov. 14. It was only four years ago that Jess and current Rayder teammates got an up close look at Menominee in the district final round. “Eighth grade year, when my brother (Brady) was a junior, most of us went up to Menominee and we saw that team,” Jess said. “That team was the best team I’ve seen – until hopefully us if we can keep moving forward.” That Menominee team went on to earn a 50-14 win over the Rayders that day and fell in the state finals by just four points. This current Menominee team (10-1) is the defending Division 7 state champion and one that’s started off the playoffs with a 90-8 point-differential. Jess is smart to give the Maroons their flowers. What else would you expect from someone who has obviously been around a head football most of his life? And, last Friday, the younger Jess, who followed his brother and standout quarterback Brady Jess in
