ST. CLAIR SHORES Summertime means road construction time in St. Clair Shores.
Macomb County Department of Roads began work in the spring on joint repairs between Eight Mile and Nine Mile roads on Harper Avenue work that will take until about mid-July to complete, Community Development and Inspection Director Chris Rayes said. The work includes removing poor sections of road and pouring new concrete for permanent repairs on the street.
City officials said they realize the county may run out of money before getting to a section of road in desperate need of repair north of Nine Mile Road, but there are plans to make the repair using city funds. Rayes said the deteriorating section of Harper Avenue in front of Taco Bell, at the intersection of Harper Avenue and Little Mack Avenue, is the spot to be repaired.

DETROIT – Two Metro Detroit men convicted of a murder in 2009 are one step closer to getting a new trial.
Three times since 2017, federal and state court judges have ordered a new trial for Darrell Ewing.
The judges found that Ewing’s constitutional right to a fair trial was violated a decade ago by juror misconduct. Since Ewing’s conviction, another man has come forward confessing to the murder.
J.B. Watson was fatally shot on Dec. 29, 2009 while at a red light in Detroit. The shooting happened at the intersection of Harper Avenue and Van Dyke Street. Prosecutors said two vehicles pulled up to the intersection and shots were fired, killing Watson.

Michigan Governor s Office
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer paid $855 toward her seat on a $27,000 charter jet flight to Florida to visit her ailing father, the governor s chief of staff said Friday.
A nonprofit fund spent $27,521 chartering a private jet owned by metro Detroit business families to fly Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Florida in mid-March to visit her father, according to a new public disclosure.
In a memo to staff Friday, Whitmer s Chief of Staff JoAnne Huls disclosed for the first time that a privately funded account the executive office uses to defray the cost of the governor s travel paid the majority of the cost to charter the plane for Whitmer s March 12-15 trip to Florida.
