The following was written by District 101 Representative Joseph Fox of the Michigan House of Representatives in response to Gov. Whitmer's recent State of the State Address.
After listening to Governor Whitmer’s annual State of the State address on Wednesday, it’s clear that, looking at her record, her lauding of bipartisanship constitutes a half-truth meant to score political points.
If she was serious about bipartisan legislation, then she and the Democrats would share power with Republicans in the evenly split House of Representatives and have conversations about bills that benefit Michigan families. With 54 Republicans and 54 Democrats in the House, now marks a crucial time for these discussions.

Opening Statement: “I thought the game – field position won us that game, it was one of the reasons. I thought (Lions P) Jack Fox was outstanding, flipping the field. Our coverage units, I thought (Lions CB Khalil Dorsey) Dorse and (Lions CB Chase Lucas) Lukey really got down the field to help on a lot of that. I thought (Lions CB) Will Harris played at a high level on teams. The takeaway, I thought our defense set the tone for the game when they went out there, got the takeaway. Set the tone early in the third quarter, got off the field twice, two stops and then finishes the game with an interception which was huge. I thought we were disruptive, all day we hit the quarterback and played an aggressive style of football, which we have to do over there. That’s got to be the way we do it and really came up big. And ultimately, I thought we complemented each other very well, all the units, all three of
The federal government has revamped its FAFSA application, and Ferris State University is hosting two free webinars dedicated to guiding students and their families through the updated process to connect with financial aid opportunities.
The Feb. 7 webinar, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., is more comprehensive and is geared towards first-time FAFSA filers. The second webinar on Feb. 8 from 11 a.m. to noon will highlight changes to the process and is best suited for those who have filed the FAFSA before. Everyone is welcome to attend either event.

For the second time this season, the Ferris State University women's basketball squad knocked off the #1 team in the nation as the ninth-ranked Bulldogs pulled out a thrilling 71-65 triumph over archival Grand Valley State on Saturday (Jan. 20) afternoon before a large crowd at FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldogs, who previously beat then top-ranked Ashland on the road back in December, moved into a first-place tie atop the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) standings with the win over the Lakers.
After the two teams battled back and forth early, giving GVSU a 17-16 edge following the first quarter, the Bulldogs took control and used a strong second frame to take a 13-point halftime lead. The lead grew to as many as 20 points in the third quarter before the Lakers answered. GVSU outscored FSU 23-12 in the fourth, but it was not enough as the Bulldogs came away with the win.
For the second-straight game, FSU's Kadyn Blanchard had a b
