Schillinger Withdraws from Brighton Council Race

News Photo 5/21/13 - Larry Schillinger, a cheerleader for the Brighton community for many years, has announced that he has withdrawn from the City Council race. That leaves five people in the running for four council seats. Schillinger tells WHMI that after filing nominating petitions last week, he decided he had been on council long enough and it was time to give others the chance to serve. He withdrew in time to meet the 72-hour deadline for withdrawing, and as a result his name will not appear on the November election ballot. Schillinger served two consecutive 4-year terms starting in 1997, then took two years off, and in 2009 was elected to a 4-year term which expires this November. He has also served on Brighton's Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning Commission and is currently a member of the Traffic Safety Advisory Commission. He was the city's liaison to the Brighton Area Fire Authority Board for several years, starting with its inception in 1999. Schillinger, who is 69, is a partner in 4windsrealty.com. (TT)

County Board of Commissioners Urges State to Fix Roads

News Photo 5/21/13 - A motion urging Governor Snyder and state lawmakers to take action to repair Michigan’s deteriorating roads and bridges was approved by the Livingston County Board of Commissioners last night. The board has received briefings on the topic from several sources, including Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, and the Michigan Association of Counties. The resolution states that 32% of the state’s roads are currently in poor condition and that number will jump to 65% by 2018 if action is not taken. It also says one third of all fatal and serious traffic accidents in Michigan are linked in part to the poor condition of the roadway. The commission says improving the roads will improve the economy and save the lives of Michigan drivers. Commissioner Steve Williams tells WHMI that the county spends all of its road money as efficiently as possible, and it is up to the state government to make a bigger effort to maintain our roads and bridges. He says the board does not mean to tell the state government how to do its job, nor to encourage tax increases. However, the resolution points out that the 6% sales tax goes to the state government’s general fund rather than road repair projects, and suggests that a $10 billion investment over ten years could prevent 100 traffic-related deaths and create 12,000 local jobs.

Four Charged After 2011 Dispensary Raid to Appear in Court in June

News Photo 5/21/13 - A recent ruling from the Michigan Supreme Court concerning medical marijuana dispensaries is pushing the criminal cases forward against four local residents after a raid on their now-closed business. 40-year-old Alan Marshall, his 38-year-old wife Christi and 31-year-old Stephanie Lynn Baxter each face charges of delivering/manufacturing marijuana. 46-year-old April Sundie Smith was also charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. All four defendants are set to appear in Livingston County Circuit Court for a pre-trial on June 21st before Judge Michael Hatty. A trial date is expected to be set at that time. Authorities say they sold pot to an undercover narcotics officer who had come to the Marshall Alternatives dispensary in Handy Township in February and May of 2011 posing as a card-carrying medical marijuana patient. The charges had been hold up until a February ruling from the Michigan Supreme Court in a Mount Pleasant case. It determined dispensaries that handle patient-to-patient sales are not protected under the state's medical marijuana law and can be shut down on the grounds of being a “public nuisance”. (JM)
