LICENSE SUSPENSION: The threat of losing your driver’s license for offenses unrelated to dangerous driving would be eliminated under a bill pushed by advocates for low-income Michigan residents. Suspensions for such things criminalize poverty and make it hard to get to work, go to grocery stores or visit doctors, they say. We hear from an Adrian lawmaker and the Michigan League for Public Policy. By Zholdas Orisbayev. FOR BLISSFIELD, LANSING CITY PULSE AND ALL POINTS.
ENERGY CRISIS: A new Michigan study uses the COVID-19 pandemic to help reveal existing energy crises such as costly utility bills and the dangers of energy pollution. It cites problems in rural areas and tribal nations from Michigan, but the same issues can be seen across the United States and globally. The study by a Michigan Technological University researcher was inspired by the state’s controversial pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac. By Taylor Haelterman. FOR SAULT STE.
