"Only Rock With Real Ones." - A Message from Corey

Willow School just opened its doors in Lansing, ready to welcome 500 students this fall — and the ribbon-cutting was pure celebration.

Future students, community leaders, and big names like State Senator Sarah Anthony and Mayor Andy Schor joined the fun, with Anthony praising kids’ potential and Benavides crediting the team’s tireless effort to make opening day a reality.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer just vetoed nine recently passed bills — including ones on health insurance, corrections officer pensions, public assistance protections, and a museum millage — citing legal and budgetary hurdles, sparking outrage from labor unions who call it a betrayal of working families. The bills, passed by Democrats 18 months ago, were only delivered to her office late, fueling a procedural clash between the House and Senate. Critics, including a Senate lawyer, say her justifications are legally shaky and that alternatives existed. While Whitmer says she’s open to revisiting these issues later, passing them through the current Republican-controlled House looks unlikely.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer seals Michigan’s final state budget at $52.3 billion — a compromise hailed as a win for families facing rising costs and a shield against harmful federal policies. Passed just days after the deadline and signed well before the fiscal year begins, the budget prioritizes roads, schools, public safety, food assistance, healthcare, housing, clean water, and childcare — all while lawmakers tout smarter spending and better value for taxpayers. With Whitmer also approving the education budget on the same day, it marks the completion of her final budget as governor.
