Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer addresses the media in Midland, Mich., May 20, 2020.
(Rebecca Cook/Reuters) After the Colonial Pipeline hack, the Michigan governor should know better. One of her predecessors does.
Former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm’s response, as the U.S. Secretary of Energy, to the closure of one pipeline appears to be at odds with the plans of her Democratic ally and current governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Granholm, while scrambling to address a cyberattack-induced closure of a major East Coast pipeline, said in a press briefing that “pipe is the best way” to transport fuel. But Whitmer is attempting to forcibly close a regionally important pipeline. One of them is wrong.

Unusual Mid-South snow causing costly roof damage
Unusual Mid-South snow causing costly roof damage By WMC Action News 5 Staff | February 19, 2021 at 5:33 PM CST - Updated February 19 at 6:58 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - This week’s unusual snowfall is taking a toll on roofs and causing damage all across the Mid-South.
Snow-piled rooftops are leading to what could be thousands of dollars worth of damage.
“The phone’s ringing off the hook with people with this ice problem and I’m sure roofers are getting thousands of calls right now,” said Brian Elder, owner of Brian Elder Roofing.
Elder said Thursday morning he received almost100 calls about snow on roofs and damage to ceilings.

The new legislative session brings with it substantial turnover for the Michigan House of Representatives, which will have 28 new lawmakers serving their first full terms in office.
Most of the freshman class will fill House seats vacated by members who hit their six-year term limit serving in the state House, although some defeated incumbents or are replacing members who sought other offices last fall.
Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth, R-Clare, and Democratic Leader-elect Donna Lasinski, D-Scio Township, will fill the leadership slots left open by the departures of former Reps. Lee Chatfield and Christine Greig.

LANSING Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she is “skeptical” of legislation passed with bipartisan support during the Legislature’s lame duck session aimed at giving significant tax breaks to Grand Rapids-based grocer Meijer for the purchase and retention of automation equipment.
Whitmer must decide whether to sign Senate Bills 1149, 1150 and 1153, which remove sales tax from the purchase of automated material handling systems and remove personal property tax from such systems, once installed.
The bills have reached Whitmer s desk as the state is facing declining revenues and increased costs during the coronavirus pandemic, and as Michigan grocers are seeing sharply increased profits. Still, the bills have support from what many would consider an unlikely source the United Food and Commercial Workers Union that represents tens of thousands of grocery workers in Michigan.
