Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has announced that he’s running to become governor next year. He delivered the news Tuesday in a campaign video, saying the state should eliminate the income tax and promote right to work measures. 

Plus, Detroit Deputy Mayor Malia Howard joined other city officials and residents Wednesday morning to celebrate the success of the Detroit Land Bank Authority. The agency has helped to rehab more than 12,000 vacant houses in the city since 2014.
