No one can say when a new bridge over the Detroit River will open for traffic, but one thing seems clear in the wake of Friday's landmark agreement between Gov. Rick Snyder and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Canada believes in Michigan's future...
There is no doubt that K2 is dangerous. Those who smoke K2 frequently hallucinate, have seizures or panic attacks and experience homicidal thoughts. They become paranoid, disoriented and violent. Sold as a "pot substitute," the highs may be similar but...
Thirty years ago this week in Highland Park, two men who were upset about the effects of the Japanese auto industry on U.S. factory jobs viciously beat Vincent Chin with a baseball bat. Chin, who died a few days later, was Chinese American. But he was...
For more than a generation, the City of Detroit has struggled to implement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on a timely basis while adhering to a myriad of federally required procedures and policies. Deadlines had been...

I laughed when I heard that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had been cited for contempt of Congress. Just more Republican politics in this election year. What an honor for Holder. Put me on the list with him. Most of us have nothing but disgust and...
