About 5,400 ‘Dreamers’ in Michigan could face deportation in 2018

About 5,400 ‘Dreamers’ in Michigan could face deportation in 2018

Posted by | Dec 22, 2017 | , | 0 |

A new report finds that about 5,400 young immigrants in Michigan, those known as the “Dreamers,” could be deported in 2018 if Congress does not act. A renewal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program remains in limbo on Capitol Hill as lawmakers continue to balk at a fix. In September the Trump administration’s Justice Department announced that the program will end unless Congress takes action to create a new version of DACA. The beneficiaries are those who came to the U.S. illegally as children while accompanied by parents or other adult family members. The report by...

Was Washington politics at play in ‘bitter defeat’ for Selfridge by Air Force?

Was Washington politics at play in ‘bitter defeat’ for Selfridge by Air Force?

Posted by | Dec 21, 2017 | | 1 |

The Air Force’s decision to station next-generation F-35 fighter planes (pictured above) at Air National Guard bases in Wisconsin and Alabama, rather than the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Macomb County, was described today as a “bitter defeat” in a press release put out by the Selfridge command. The release also raised the specter that partisan Washington politics might have led to Selfridge’s snub after emerging as one of five finalists for the newest home for the F-35A fighter jets. A Selfridge insider said that freshman Congressman Paul Mitchell, R-Dryden, never engaged in the fight for a Selfridge...

Tax plan amounts to a 1.6% pay raise for the middle class

Tax plan amounts to a 1.6% pay raise for the middle class

Posted by | Dec 20, 2017 | | 0 |

If your boss gathered you and your co-workers together for an announcement and said that next year everyone will receive a 1.6 percent pay raise, would that news generate cheers, or groans? Well, that scenario has essentially played out in Congress over the past few weeks as the tax reform plan headed for the president’s signature would provide an income boost of about 1.6 percent to a middle class family (those earning between $48,000 and $86,000). Congressional Republicans who cobbled together this tax legislation sound dismayed that the bill is so unpopular with the public.  Polls indicate that only...

Detroit, Macomb County sue opioid drug manufacturers, sellers

Detroit, Macomb County sue opioid drug manufacturers, sellers

Posted by | Dec 19, 2017 | , | 0 |

Detroit and Macomb County officials announced today they are fighting the opioid epidemic by mounting a wide-ranging lawsuit against drug manufacturers, similar to the approach taken in the 1990s by dozens of states that resulted in a $250 billion settlement against cigarette companies. The federal suit not only targets large pharmaceutical companies and health care system distributors but also retail drug stores such as Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid. The legal claim is that these defendants recklessly perpetuated widespread distribution of highly addictive prescription opioids – various forms of painkillers – to people seeking medical help with injuries who...

Race for Levin’s seat could take several twists and turns

Race for Levin’s seat could take several twists and turns

Posted by | Dec 19, 2017 | , | 0 |

This is an excerpt from a column I wrote recently for Dome Magazine.   By Chad Selweski Several years of anticipation and speculation about when longtime Rep. Sandy Levin would call it quits were always accompanied by a long list of potential candidates who would jump at the chance to run for the congressman’s coveted seat in suburban Detroit. The veteran lawmaker kept everyone guessing but when the Royal Oak Democrat suddenly made his retirement announcement earlier this month, the initial shakeout indicated that the 2018 contest in the solidly Democratic 9th Congressional District might consist of just the two...
