LANSING, Mich - Michigan home health care workers might have to go back to giving up part of their paychecks to a union if two bills passed by the state Senate become law.
Senate Bills 790 and 791 aim to revive the dues skim, in which a union takes money from Michigan home health care workers — most of whom are private people who get small public reimbursements for caring for elderly or disabled family members.
From 2004 to 2013, Care Council legislation created a fictional employment relationship between home healthcare providers and the state, allowing the Service Employees International Union to take millions of dollars from federal stipends. The practice was never popular with Michigan home healthcare providers, with only 20% voting for unionization in 2005. Over nine years, dues skimmed just from Medicaid checks totaled more than $31 million. Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - A cooperative of several small southwest Michigan farms is fighting back after the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development recently seized $90,000 worth of raw dairy products.
The Whitmer administration raided Nourish Cooperative on May 28 over the sale of raw dairy products, seizing $90,000 worth of milk and butter the government deemed dangerous for human consumption.
In a video of the seizure posted online, two overweight bureaucrats from MDARD watched with clipboards in hand as employees filled a dumpster with the products.
“The two Michigan Department of Agriculture employees watched on since they were unwilling to do the raid themselves,” Harry Gray posted to X with the video. Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON D.C. - President Joe Biden formally rejected on Monday a bill in Congress that would require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office.
A policy statement from the Biden administration said it “strongly opposes” the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) earlier this year and is expected to get a vote in the Republican-led House as early as this week, but did not mention the prospect of a veto.
“It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections — it is a Federal crime punishable by prison and fines. The alleged justification for this bill is based on easily disproven falsehoods,” the statement said. “Additionally, making a false claim of citizenship or unlawfully voting in an election is punishable by removal from the United States and a permanent bar to admission.” Click here to read more.

MIDDLETOWN, Penn. - A Pennsylvania woman has a few more things to celebrate after finishing her radiation treatment for breast cancer.
Donna Osborne, 75, said it was bittersweet when she scratched off her lottery ticket and realized she won $5 million. Osborne added the surprise also came just in time for her birthday.
"I was at the airport with my daughter. We were on our way to see family in Florida when the flight got delayed," she told lottery officials. "Well, it was delayed so many times, I decided to go home. My daughter stayed and flew to Florida,” said Osborne. “If I didn’t leave the airport, I would have never bought that ticket!"
Osborne said after scratching the ticket at the Speedway parking lot she couldn't believe her eyes. Click here to read more.

ROCHESTER, Mich - In the first part of the story about parental outrage in the Rochester Community School district, the focus was on parents' reactions to what they deemed inappropriate books on gender being read to their children. Parents accused the schools of imposing personal belief systems on young children without parental consent, referring to it as "grooming."
The controversies at Delta Kelly and Brooklands exemplify ongoing conflicts between parents and the Rochester Schools' administration and teachers. At a special board meeting, parent Stephanie Van Daele criticized the school board's involvement in events like Pride in the Park, arguing that such events are inappropriate for young children.
During the board meeting, Trustee Carol Beth Litkouhi proposed suspending the rules to allow immediate responses from board members regarding the reading of inappropriate books, but the motion did not pass. Litkouhi, who has sought information on gender studies and DEI courses through FOIA requests, has received partial and redacted responses. She currently has a pending lawsuit against the school system with the Michigan Supreme Court over FOIA interpretations. Click here to read more.
