The 2020 Election
In November, U.S. Representative Jack Bergman (R-Watersmeet) was re-elected to a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives with over 60 percent of the vote. But he couldn’t break a tie on the Grand Traverse County Commission in February for a non-binding resolution.
It would have praised Rep. Bergman but failed by a 3-3 vote. Constituents like Richard Walter called in to ask the lawmaker to resign.
“[Bergman] should not be praised and should not be honored by a frivolous resolution that does nothing to help this community,” he said.
A few of Bergman s supporters called in to repeat baseless or debunked claims of voter fraud, including Heather Cerone, who ran for a state house seat last year.

The Great Lakes are one of the treasures of the planet, vast flowing tanks of fresh water, filled with plants and fish. There are also pollutants and overseas invaders.
A University at Buffalo researcher is studying a mutating fish called kiyis a branch of the Cisco family in Lake Superior that appears to be regaining its ability to see better deep underwater.
Assistant Professor Trevor Krabbenhoft is trying to figure out why that vision is changing and whether it reflects changing light in the lakes because of overseas invasive species that have moved in.
