East Lansing’s city council is set to vote Tuesday on two major downtown high-rises: “The Howard,” a 12-story building replacing the MSU Bookstore to house 750 students and boost the local economy, and a 10-story tower on the Bailey Street parking lot near the Peanut Barrel for 450 residents. Both projects have already cleared planning and transportation hurdles, sparking community buzz as the council decides whether to reshape the city’s skyline and urban living.

A federal judge just handed a major victory to states and communities by blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to pull back already awarded grant money—securing vital funding for crime fighting, medical research, clean water, and more. Michigan’s AG Dana Nessel led a coalition of 23 states and D.C. in suing over the cuts, which threatened everything from student aid to food security. The ruling clearly states that federal agencies can’t unilaterally revoke nationwide grants based on shifting priorities, delivering a strong check on executive power and offering much-needed stability to essential public services.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer just signed a historic $22.9 billion education budget—her “legacy” plan—packed with bold promises: free pre-K, free school meals, free community college, and a nationwide literacy push with phonics training for teachers. A new “weighted formula” allocates extra funding—nearly $1.7 billion—to students learning English or from disadvantaged backgrounds, with districts required to meet specific equity benchmarks. Personal to Whitmer, the budget honors her grandparents’ education roots and passed with surprising bipartisan support. Though the number looks smaller than last year due to projected federal cuts, officials suspect those cuts may not materialize. Over $300 million is earmarked for student mental health and safety. This collaborative win between a divided legislature proves what’s possible when lawmakers unite for students.

A five-year-old boy died in a hyperbaric chamber explosion at the Oxford Center, prompting the safety director, Jeffrey Mosteller, to plead no contest to involuntary manslaughter. Authorities say he ignored critical safety protocols, leading to a preventable tragedy. Mosteller faces 19 months to 15 years in prison, with sentencing set for August 13. Three others — including the center’s CEO — also face charges, with their court dates this week and next. The case continues to unfold as the legal system seeks accountability for the boy’s family.
