State Sen. Jonathan Lindsey (R-Coldwater), who represents all of the impacted areas, sat down with constituents in Three Rivers Monday, including the mayor.

According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, coyotes — once rare in Michigan and mostly found in the western U.S. — expanded into the state in the early 1900s as logging and farming created open habitat and declining wolf populations reduced competition, and by the mid-20th century they had spread across both peninsulas.

- An effort to place a voting measure on Michigan's November ballot is moving ahead, thousands of signatures have been submitted to the Secretary of State on a ballot question supporters say will ensure only U.S. citizens can vote.
Americans for Citizen Voting says they handed over more than 750,000 signatures from all 83 counties, gathered by 17,000 volunteers.
The ballot campaign says the signatures represent an overwhelming, bipartisan show of support for election integrity.
"We saw in 2024 that non-citizens did vote in Michigan's election, and yet nothing has been done to reform that system, to make certain that it doesn't happen again," Paul Jacob, chairman of Americans for Citizen Voting, said. "This ballot measure will make certain that it doesn't happen again."
The initiative would require photo ID to cast a ballot and implement a systematic review of Michigan's qualified voter file.

- Michigan school launches 'no screens' initiative after low literacy scores
- Date posted
- 9 days ago
- Description
- Students at Mesick Consolidated Schools are putting down their Chromebooks and picking up books as part of the district's recently launched “no screens” initiative.
Low literacy scores pushed the district to rethink how technology is used in the classroom — leading to a decision to remove screens and refocus on reading.
Technology has become a regular part of learning in classrooms across the country.
Mesick school leaders decided it was time to step back and focus on the basics.
Superintendent Jack Ledford says the idea came after he met with the elementary principal to review literacy scores and classroom routines.
“And then I asked how much reading time teachers were able to devote to kids, specifically teacher reading time where the teacher would read aloud,” Ledford said. “And she said not as much as there should be. So, then we went all in and said, “Let’s go no screens.’”

- Michigan bill would shield racetracks from neighbor noise lawsuits

- Description
- A Michigan lawmaker is pushing new legislation that would shield longtime racetracks from nuisance lawsuits filed by neighbors who move in nearby and then complain about the noise.
When you buy a house, most people take a moment to see what’s around it — both good and, perhaps, less desirable.
An active rail line with loud trains, an airport, a busy freeway or a racetrack.
That last one, racetracks, may be getting a little protection from lawsuits from neighbors if a Michigan lawmaker has his way.
"I'm shut down right now for a lawsuit that was filed last year against me."
Woody Sloan's Onondaga Dragway is about a decade into lawsuits and legal battles. Individual nearby neighbors say his track, which has operated on and off since the 60s, is a nuisance.
“One person that can shut you down, that doesn’t seem fair to me,” Sloan said.

- 'Total death guaranteed': Trump urges Iranian diplomats to seek asylum during Iran war

- Description
- The House on Thursday voted to block a war powers resolution aimed at stopping President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran.
Lawmakers rejected the measure 212-219, marking the second failed effort in two days after the Senate defeated a similar resolution largely along party lines.
The vote offered a clear snapshot of where members stand on the U.S.-Israel military operation and on Trump’s decision to move forward without a formal declaration of war from Congress, which holds constitutional authority to declare war.
The debate has drawn comparisons to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, with many lawmakers who served in the military after Sept. 11 weighing in from the House floor.
Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, publicly thanked Trump for taking action against Iran, saying the president is using his own constitutional authority to defend the U.S. against t...
