Communities' water battle heads for court
"'It appears that over the years Muskegon Heights has routinely borrowed from the water fund and/or failed to make payments to it, without proper notice to (much less the approval of) Norton Shores and also without paying any interest,' Rose's letter said.
Heights mayor Paige called the dispute 'a matter of opinion.'"

My Brain Tumor by Robert D. Novak on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent
My Brain Tumor by Robert D. Novak on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent: "I had thought 51 years of rough-and-tumble journalism in Washington made me more enemies than friends, but my recent experience suggests the opposite may be the case.
But Joe and Valerie Wilson, attempting to breathe life into the Valerie Plame 'scandal,' issued this statement: 'We have long argued that responsible adults should take Novak's typewriter away. The time has arrived for them to also take away the keys to his Corvette.'
Thanks to my tumor, the Wilsons have achieved half of their desires. I probably never will be able to drive again, and I have sold the Corvette, which I dearly loved. Taking away my typewriter, however, may require modification of the First Amendment.
Support for me and promises of prayers sent for me poured in from all sides, including political figures who had not been happy with my columns. I'm told that President George W. Bush has not liked my criticism, particularly of his Iraq war policy. But the president is a compassionate man, and he telephoned me at 7:24 a.m. on August 15, six minutes before I went into surgery. The conversation lasted only a minute, but his prayerful concern was touching and much appreciated."

GR says: Show me the Hollywood money!
"The state of Michigan send movie producers a check for 42 percent of what they spend. Does the added business make up for the tax break? Time will tell.
Producers won't share the cost of the production or the size of the incentive - and neither will the state. The information, they say, is confidential"
The state is funding this boondoggle and our Gov Jenny is keeping the "confidential" money a secret from all of us?!!!!!!!!
And why is the GRPress so complacent with this stonewall?
