State money secured for Eastpointe to replace lead water service lines

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — As Eastpointe continues to replace lead water service lines, financial help is coming from the state.

At the July 18 Eastpointe City Council meeting, state Sen. Veronica Klinefelt, D-Eastpointe, and state Rep. Kimberly Edwards, D-Eastpointe, announced that the city will receive $10 million from the state budget to replace lead water service lines.

The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and Roseville police investigate the scene of an officer-involved shooting April 26, 2022, on Groesbeck Highway between 12 Mile and Martin roads in Roseville. A lawsuit recently was filed against the city and officer.

Lawsuit filed against Roseville, police officer for shooting death ROSEVILLE — A wrongful death lawsuit was filed recently against the city of Roseville after one of the city’s police officers shot and killed a man in April 2022.

At approximately 6:20 a.m. April 26, 2022, Roseville police responded to a crash involving a Chevrolet Silverado and a semi-truck on Groesbeck Highway, just south of 12 Mile Road. According to the department, the Silverado was traveling south on Groesbeck Highway before crossing into oncoming traffic and colliding head-on with the semi.

When police arrived, they found the driver of the Silverado, identified as Frank Robles, 57, of Roseville,

in the roadway holding a knife — reportedly a fishing knife with a 4-inch blade. Officers ordered him to drop the knife as he began advancing toward them, according to the police investigation. He allegedly refused to comply with additional commands from the officers.

In body camera footage shown during an April 27, 2022, press conference, Robles can be seen advancing toward the officer, identified as Chad Lee, who repeatedly told Robles to drop the knife. When Robles refused to do so, the officer shot him, dropping him to the ground, according to the video. When Robles attempted to get up while still possessing the knife, Lee fired more shots. In all, the officer fired nine shots, Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said at the conference.

New principal to lead elementary school he attended as a student Roseville Community Schools makes other administrative changes

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

At the July 10 Roseville Community Schools Board of Education meeting, Joseph Trobaugh was appointed Fountain Elementary School principal.

He attended Fountain as a student.

D&P

ROSEVILLE — More than 30 years ago, Joseph Trobaugh was a student attending Fountain Elementary School.

It was where he developed a love for social studies and made friends on the playground.

Now Trobaugh will again walk the halls of Fountain, not as a student, but as an administrator.

At the July 10 Roseville Community Schools Board of Education meeting, the school board voted 5-0 to appoint Trobaugh as the new Fountain principal. Board President Theresa Genest and Treasurer Matthew McCartney were absent.

Trobaugh’s official first day with the district will be Aug. 14.

“I’m looking forward to meeting everybody,” he said. “I love talking to people and getting to know who they are. I’m coming

The 1998 Roseville High School graduate has been in education for 18 years, including teaching fourth/fifth grade accelerated social studies and English language arts. Trobaugh, too, has been a summer school reading instructor and a tutor for Brainspring, a company specializing in teaching students with reading disabilities.

When Trobaugh learned about the principal position at Fountain, he applied. Something that motivated him was meeting with Blaszkowski while working on his doctorate. Trobaugh felt the superintendent’s ideas, values and vision aligned with his own. Trobaugh and Blaszkowski’s paths had crossed before; the superintendent was once his science teacher.

“The thought of coming back to my childhood school shaped a lot of things for me,” Trobaugh said. “It was a no-brainer. It was kind of meant to be.”

Growing up, the new administrator had a big brother vibe to him.

“I just remember the younger kids gravitated towards me,” Trobaugh said. “I always had a knack for being able to relate to kids.”

back to a place I value. It’s such a privilege to come back, give back and pay it forward.”

Trobaugh’s parents still reside in his childhood home, located just two blocks from Fountain. Since the appointment, Trobaugh has visited his alma mater.

“It brought a ton of memories back,” he said. “I remember lining up outside before school and talking to friends. I learned to play basketball in the gym through Parks and Recreation. It was a really fun time.”

He wants Fountain to be “a place kids want to come to.”

“Some of my goals are to build relationships and really support the teachers,” Trobaugh said. “With our political climate, I think teachers need support more than ever.

When they feel valued and heard, they can do their jobs more effectively. That carries over to the students.”

Coming from Lakeview Public Schools, Trobaugh recently earned his doctorate with a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.

“One of my goals is to bring awareness to that,” he said.

After speaking with district Superintendent Mark Blaszkowski, Trobaugh also wants

to get money for Eastpointe with regards to lead lines,” Klinefelt said. “I started talking to City Manager (Mariah) Walton back in February. We have been able to secure $10 million in the budget solely to replace lead lines.”

When working on the funding, Klinefelt also had conversations with Darin Paolucci, director of Eastpointe’s Department of Public Works and Services, about costs associated with such a project. Although Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has not yet signed the budget, Klinefelt said she will “stake her reputation on it that she will not do a line item veto on the replacement of the lead lines in Eastpointe.”

“There is a pot of money for lead lines statewide,” Klinefelt said. “This is something I wanted to do. I had a good case to make because Eastpointe had that public advisory last year.”

Klinefelt is referring to the fall of 2022 when 30 homes in the city with known lead service lines were tested for lead. Five homes exceeded the state’s action level for lead, and the goal is for the city to replace all lead service lines.

On July 18, the same day of the council meeting, city officials posted an advisory on the Eastpointe website regarding another test that was recently conducted. According to Walton, the city tested 60 homes from Jan. 1 through June 30 of this year. Results determined that out of the 60 homes sampled, seven had results over 15 parts per billion.

As per the advisory, homes with lead service lines have an increased risk of having high lead levels in drinking water.

“When the public advisory was issued, I thought now is the time to get the word to residents that help is on the way,” Klinefelt said. “This was a nice opportunity to knock out most of the lead lines in the older homes.

I’m glad to see the state invest in our city.”

According to the advisory, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy evaluates compliance with the action level based on the 90th percentile of lead and copper results collected in each round of sampling. The lead 90th percentile for the city’s water supply is 22 ppb, which exceeds the action level of 15 ppb, the advisory stated.

“Lead can enter drinking water when in contact with pipes, solder, home/building interior plumbing, fittings and fixtures that contain lead. The more time water has

ated from the bond sale are deposited in the district’s construction fund and are available to spend for completion of the projects contemplated in the bond proposal.

If Eastpointe’s bond passes, it will generate funding to pay for improvements to school facilities across the district. The bond proposal is part one of an overall plan to address student needs at every grade level. This bond is replacing maturing bond debt.

If the bond proposal passes, Gibson said, “some of the (construction) work will start in the summer of 2024.”

There are nine buildings in the district, including four elementary schools, Eastpointe Middle School, Eastpointe High School, the Early Learning Center, the Alternative Center, and the operations and transportation building.

Proposed projects include safety and security improvements, learning environment enhancements, facility upgrades and technology updates. They include everything from roofing to heating and cooling to playgrounds.

“The big one is getting air conditioning in our schools, redoing our playgrounds for

the kids and community, improving traffic flow for parents during pickup and drop-off at our schools, and securing entrances at the high school and middle schools,” Gibson said.

Eastpointe High School — built in 1929 — for example, would receive $10 million in project improvements should the bond proposal pass. That includes the creation of a secure entry vestibule, upgraded security cameras and exterior lighting, resurfacing of the track, renovations of the culinary arts space, and much more.

Another example is Pleasantview Elementary School, which was built in 1960 and houses third through fifth grade students. If the voters approve the bond, a total of $5.11 million would be allocated to Pleasantview for a list of projects, including a bus lane and the replacement of student and staff computing devices.

The district’s architects are Partners in Architecture, in Mount Clemens, and the construction manager is Barton Malow, in Southfield. If voters approve the proposal, the $36.4 million bond will be for 25 years.

Eastpointe voters last approved a bond issue in 2009. The bond was for $23 million, and it focused on needs at the secondary level.

“The old bond will bring the levy to the

new bond. That’s how we can do the zero mills,” Gibson said. “We’re excited to continue rebuilding pride in our public education system.”

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 8. Residents can vote by absentee ballot through Aug. 8. To obtain an absentee ballot application, visit michigan.gov/vote and click on “absentee voting” in the left column.

Information about the proposal is available on the school district’s website at www. eastpointeschools.org under the “bond election info” heading. Click on the school bond info link, which includes a list of projects per school building. Questions about the bond can be directed to Gibson by emailing christina.gibson@eastpointeschools.org.

PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS COULD ALL RECEIVE FREE MEALS THIS SCHOOL YEAR

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Michigan is well on its way to becoming the fifth state in the nation to provide free breakfast and lunch to all public school students this school year.

Michigan’s House and Senate have approved the state’s fiscal year 2024 budget, which includes the allocation of $160 million to provide students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade with a free daily school breakfast and lunch for the 2023-24 school year.

The program will take immediate effect once the budget is signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Some states have either implemented universal free meals or are considering it following last June’s expiration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture waivers that allowed schools across the nation to offer free meals to students during the height of the pandemic.

Michigan’s new universal free meal program is only budgeted for this year, so to keep

it going, state lawmakers would have to provide additional funding.

The Michigan initiative, called “Healthy School Meals for All,” aims to address food insecurity and improve student concentration and performance, state officials said.

“This is something we have wanted to see for the kids of Michigan for years,” said Diane Golzynski, the deputy superintendent for finance and operations for the Michigan Department of Education, which will oversee the program. “It’s going to be a huge win for kids all over the state to be able to go to school and know that there will be meals there if they want to eat them.”

Schools will have to opt in if they want to participate.

“The important message for families is, as long as your school opts in, then you will be able to have free breakfast and lunch at school,” Golzynski added.

Critics of the program say that free and reduced school meals were already offered to students who need them.

State Rep. Jaime Greene, R-Richmond,

During the 2023-24 school year, Michigan students will be eligible for free breakfast and lunch from their public schools.

objected to the “expansion of the school meal program, a previously needs-based program that will instead provide free food even for kids from the wealthiest families when fully phased in,” according to a press release.

Advocates said the Healthy School Meals for All program will eliminate the stigma associated with receiving free and reduced lunch by providing reimbursement from the state for meals served to students who do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

Previously, just over half of all students

in the state qualified for free or reduced meals through federal programs, based on their family’s income or whether they qualified for SNAP benefits or Medicaid. In 2022, 53.3% of Michigan students qualified for free or reduced-cost lunches.

“The federal reimbursement will come in first, and then (the MDE) will calculate the state reimbursement and provide those resources to the schools that opt in,” Golzynski explained.

been sitting in your home’s pipes, the more lead it may contain,” the advisory reported.

“Therefore, if your water has not been used for several hours, run the water before using it for drinking or cooking. This flushes leadcontaining water from the pipes.”

A water service line runs from the water main in the street to the tap — usually under the front yard — and then into the home. The line is made of specific material such as lead or copper. Homes with lead water service lines are being tested based on the ability of the material to get into the drinking water.

EGLE evaluates the city’s compliance with the “action level” based on the sample testing. The “action level” is a measure of corrosion control effectiveness; it is not a health-based standard. Based on the results, the city must provide the public with information on the potential impact of lead in drinking water.

“The goal for lead in drinking water is zero parts per billion. We recommend that you do utilize a filter if you do have a lead water service line,” Walton said at last week’s

- In Memory of -

council meeting. “Filters are recommended in general for drinking water.”

The city won’t receive the funding until after the state budget is adopted in October.

“The state fiscal year begins in October,” Walton said in a follow-up email. “We would expect to hear more information on the process closer to that date.”

City officials will conduct another round of tests with 60 homes from July 1 through December of this year.

City officials have an “Eastpointe Lead Safe” page on the city’s website at eastpointemi.gov. Information about the lead water service lines can be found as well as where to obtain a water filter. Call (586) 204-3032 to schedule a time to pick up a water filter at City Hall, the Eastpointe Memorial Library or at the Public Works Offices. There is also a form at the city’s website that residents can fill out to determine if their home has a lead service line.

The city stated in its press release that since 2020, it has replaced 687 lead service lines and plans to replace another 100 lines in the 2023-24 fiscal year, which began July 1. The City Council put $1 million in the budget for lead service line replacement, Walton said in an email.

ROSEVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Penny Case Kennedy Bush Penny Case Kennedy Bush went to be with the Lord on Sunday June 18th, 2023. She was a Roseville resident for over 25 years. Penny was a precious daughter of Genevieve and was a loving mother of Stephanie and Lonnie. Penny went to East Detroit High School and joined cheerleading as a teen. Then when she had children of her own, she rooted for them in their special abilities, Stephanie with music and Lonnie with baseball. She was her children’s biggest cheerleader in life. Penny also had siblings she grew up with.

She shared fun stories about her and her siblings to her children. Penny was very loving and nurturing to her family and wanted the best for them. Penny always thought of others. She would keep worrisome things to herself so that her children or family wouldn’t have to worry. Some of the best memories of growing up with her were the special dinners she made for her family, her smile that brightened any room and her laugh. Penny also liked to dance. Penny loved to worship. She previously served as a youth leader for some time at Antioch Baptist Church and helped lead music for the youth group with her daughter Stephanie. Some of Penny’s best moments alone were when she had her Christian music station on and she could be in the presence of the Lord whether at home, in a church, or in her car. Penny cared for others. Even when she didn’t have much to give, she still helped others in ways she could. Penny loved to garden indoors and outdoors. She also planted her favorite house plant called purple passion. Penny was the grandma of her granddaughters Faith and Hope. She loved her children and grandchildren so much. Summertime was fun as she would set up a sandbox or water fun for her granddaughters and surprise them with popsicles from time to time. We will miss so much about Penny. She had many family members and was a friend to many. This obituary is In Loving Memory of Penny Case Kennedy Bush, May 9th, 1963- June 18th, 2023.

Meals from page 8A

The governor’s office said the program will help feed 1.4 million children across the state, which they estimate will save a family $850 over the year. A 2012 study of school lunch costs found that homemade lunches ranged in cost from around $1.55 to $2.12, and the NSLP lunches came in around $2.15, without giving a dollar amount to the time involved in preparing either, according to schoolnutrition. org, which also found that parents tend to pack more sugary items.

Collin McDonough, director of Michigan government relations at the American Heart Association, said he applauds Whitmer, the state Legislature, the Michigan Department of Education and the AHA’s partner organizations No Kid Hungry Michigan, the School Nutrition Association of Michigan, and the Michigan School Meals Coalition for “their tireless work to take this program from an idea to reality.”

He said Healthy School Meals for All will be “transformational” for Michigan’s students and families.

“Not only will it help students learn — no one can focus on an empty stomach — it will help reduce the risk for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes,” McDonough said in a statement.

Parent Jessica Kalef, of Rochester, has concerns about the quality of food served.

“While this sounds like a good idea, during COVID, when they were offered free lunch, there was a big difference in the quality of free food, versus paid. During the free period, we had gotten expired milk and yogurts … and upset stomachs, and were told stuff smelled or wasn’t cooked right,” said Kalef.

Food standards, she stressed, need to be upheld for the universal free food program as well.

“We, as parents, can’t be there for lunch, so it was upsetting that they were served this on several occasions,” Kalef added. “I would rather pay for the lunch to be sure it’s hot, fresh and not expired. However, I know that not all families can do that — so then who is responsible for upholding the standards and checking our kids safety?”

The meals offered through the state and federal programs, Golzynski said, are required to meet the dietary guidelines for Americans, which are set at the federal level.

“In order to get the federal reimbursement, those meals have to meet those nutritional values, but the beautiful part of having the additional state reimbursement is the schools will actually now have more money to spend on their food products, so they can get even higher quality food than what they had before,” she said.

Federal requirements include minimum servings for vegetables, fruits, milk, grains and

meat or meat-alternate components. Schools must also adhere to requirements for calories, trans fat, saturated fat and sodium content.

While meal pattern requirements are set at the federal level, MDE officials said school menus are set at the local school or school district level.

“If there is a food allergy situation, where it is life or death, then the family gets a note from the child’s doctor, and the food service department has to make those accommodations; no matter what those accommodations are, they have to meet that child’s requirement based on what the doctor says,” said Golzynski. “In the case of dietary preference, like for religious reasons, or oftentimes a family eats vegetarian or vegan, then the food service department will do everything they can to meet those but they aren’t required to.”

Rochester Community Schools, along with many other local school districts, works with Chartwells for its food service.

“Universal free meals in Michigan offer a great opportunity for students to eat together in the cafeteria and hopefully make it easier for students and families to confidently check breakfast and lunch off their list. We’re excited to serve even more students in Rochester Community Schools this year, helping to fuel their busy days with favorite menu items and a variety of delicious new recipes,” Marsha Dziewit, the director of dining services for Rochester Community Schools, said in an email.

Rochester parent Cristina Poma feels the universal free meal program is “a move in the right direction” and said it can always be tweaked in the future to address concerns.

“I’m sure the quality of the food and whatever other gripes people may have can be adjusted as the program grows, but for the children of Michigan, I couldn’t be prouder to be in a state that is taking care of their kids in this manner,” she said.

MDE officials said parents or students can advocate for improved meal quality by first contacting their school’s food service director with concerns.

“Not every family will choose to eat the meals — and that’s always been the case, even during the pandemic, when the meals were free. … But we do expect there to be more children who choose to eat because they are free,” Golzynski stated.

She also encouraged parents to fill out income information, specifically a form called the “educational benefits form,” which will allow schools to continue to get federal funding for education.

“No matter what your income level is, return it, because it’s important to the school for additional education funding that they can get,” she said.

Those with additional questions or concerns can email MDE’s School Nutrition Programs at mde-schoolnutrition@michi gan.gov.

Over in the kids zone section, families can duke it out in friendly Nerf battles. Adding to the fun, there will be a mobile video game truck, a balloon artist, crafts with the Anton Art Center and a caricature artist. RARE officials also have arranged for a magic show at 5:45 p.m.

The Eastpointe Lions Club will get into the spirit of the evening by setting up a beer and wine pavilion. Along with that, 18 local craft vendors have signed on to be part of the event.

Attendees are encouraged to stick around for live music with a performance by Collision Six from 7 to 9 p.m. On its website c6band. com, Collision Six describes itself as “a fun, energetic and versatile cover band serving Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Northern Michigan, Illinois and Ohio.”

According to RARE Director Tony Lipinski, Rockin’ Summer Night is a spin-off from the Sizzlin’ Summer Night events done since the Recreation Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe formed. A lot of work is done ahead of time planning and preparing for the event.

“The Eastpointe Department of Public Works and Parks Maintenance do a great job preparing the park, as well as the cooperation from the Eastpointe Police Department the day of the event,” Lipinski said. “Of course, the support provided by the Eastpointe Lions Club and sponsor Motor City Pawn Brokers makes it possible for us to have such an event.

The majority of our recreation authority staff will be working at the Rockin’ Summer Night event to create great memories for all that attend.”

Other administrative changes announced

With the recent retirement of Patton Elementary School Principal Jeanne Williams, former Fountain Principal Brandon Komarowski is moving over to Patton as the new principal. Komarowski also will be the district’s English learners coordinator.

After several years as assistant principal at Roseville Middle School and Eastland Middle School, Brenda Baker will now be the principal at Dort Elementary School,

Lawsuit from page 3A

The officers were uninjured. Robles was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office investigated the shooting and said May 18, 2022, that it found no evidence that would support any charges against Lee. The Sheriff ’s Office reviewed the case with the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

“After this review, a consistent opinion was reached that no criminal charges are warranted for Officer Chad Lee,” the Sheriff ’s Office stated last year. “The Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office investigation is closed at this time.”

Now, more than a year later, a lawsuit has been filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the city of Roseville and Lee. The lawsuit has been filed by Southfield-based Moss & Colella. The plaintiff is Laura Robles, personal representative of the estate of Frank Vincent Robles III. A press release sent by the law firm states that Frank Robles was found outside his vehicle “dazed and disoriented and carrying a four-inch fishing fillet knife.

“Within seconds, Officer Lee observed the knife held loosely at Robles’ side in a passive manner,” the release states. “Despite no threats to Officer Lee, no evidence of committing a violent crime and no civilians in danger, he fired multiple shots at Robles, who fell to the ground incapacitated. Officer Lee then fired several more rounds, one of which struck Robles in the head.”

The lawsuit claims excessive and deadly force, assault and battery, gross negligence and Monell liability for unconstitutional policies and practices, the press release from the law firm states.

Monell liability is the possibility of a

replacing Mike Zimmer, who relocated to another district. Baker began working in the district as a Dort teacher.

Another change is occurring at the middle school level. Alexandra Ward, who teaches English language arts at both Eastland Middle School and Roseville Middle School, will now be the dean of students at EMS. While in Roseville, Ward has served as an after-school tutor and a member of the Community and Culture Committee. She earned a bachelor’s degree in professional writing and English from Michigan State University, and an accelerated teacher certification from Saginaw Valley State University.

municipality being held liable for an officer’s actions when the plaintiff can prove that the officer violated the plaintiff ’s constitutional rights, and that the violation resulted from an official municipal policy, an unofficial custom, or indifference to training or supervising the officer.

In the press release, A. Vince Colella, the attorney handling the lawsuit, states that qualified immunity does not apply in this case.

“The qualified immunity defense can be readily overcome in this case because Officer Lee violated Mr. Robles’ constitutional right to be free from an unreasonable use of deadly force,” he stated.

While Colella also added that police officers should be fully trained in the use of Tasers and less-lethal options of restraint, at the April 2022 press conference, thenRoseville Police Chief Ryan Monroe, now the Roseville city manager, said his officers are equipped with and trained to use a Taser; however, a knife is considered a deadly weapon, and in that situation officers are trained to use their sidearms.

“Our officers are trained (that) Tasers are not always reliable,” he said. “They’re just another piece of equipment that can malfunction.”

Robles, a father of two, was employed

by Roseville Community Schools, where he worked in the district’s Buildings and Grounds Department.

“Given the pendency of the lawsuit, the family is not at liberty to speak outside of the proceedings only to say that Frank was a loving husband and father who will be missed,” Colella said in an email.

Roseville Deputy Police Chief Mitchell Berlin declined to comment. The office of attorney Robert Seibert, whom the city has retained to defend both the city and Lee in the lawsuit, declined to comment.

Call Staff Writer Brian Wells at (248) 291-7637.

According to a district press release, Ward is on schedule to complete her master’s in educational leadership this August from Wayne State University. Her strengths include the ability to listen and to motivate others. She hopes to continue building the “fantastic” community at EMS by cultivating positive relationships with the community, parents and students.

“I care deeply for the students and am looking to help them succeed in life and learning,” Ward stated in the press release.

“Creating a space where both teachers and

students love to be is my goal as a school leader.”

Blaszkowski believes that Ward will be a great advocate for students.

“Ms. Ward understands the importance of listening to students to get to the root of the problem to help the families navigate issues,” Blaszkowski said in a prepared statement.

Joe Jelsone, who spent last year as the dean of students at EMS, will be moving to RMS to fill the assistant principal role.

SWIMMING ACROSS AMERICA FOR A CURE

Photo provided by Swim Across America - Motor City Mile

DETROIT — At press time, swimmers and volunteers were preparing for the fifth annual Swim Across America-Motor City Mile scheduled for July 7 on Belle Isle in the Detroit River. A 2-mile swim, a 1-mile swim and a half-mile swim were scheduled. SAA-Motor City Mile benefits cancer research at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, where roughly 500 researchers are working to prevent cancer, improve outcomes for patients, and improve quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. One participant, Julie Brabbs — pictured right with her husband, Steve — is the chief administrative officer at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center. Brabbs also is a cancer patient and currently has raised $14,232 for cancer research, with more donations expected. Brabbs, 56, of Ann Arbor, is currently being treated with Keytruda, which is an immunotherapy cancer treatment that was funded and created in a Swim Across America lab at Johns Hopkins University.

Distracted driving law now in effect

METRO DETROIT — Drivers and law enforcement departments across Michigan are reacting to a new law that went into effect June 30 that prohibits using cellphones and other devices while driving.

According to a press release issued on behalf of Insurance Alliance of Michigan, data from the Michigan State Police showed that in 2021, more than 16,000 motor vehicle crashes involved a distracted driver, with 59 of those crashes resulting in a fatality.

The use of a mobile electronic device means using a mobile electronic device to do any task, such as sending or receiving a call; sending, receiving or reading a text message; viewing, recording or Photo by Brendan Losinski transmitting a video; and accessing, reading or posting to a social networking site. An exception is allowed if the driver is contacting emergency services. Michigan is now the 26th state to adopt a hands-free driving law.

According to the release from MDOT, texting while driving has been illegal in Michigan since 2010, but increasing the parameters of the law to prohibit the use of phones “without hands-free technology is expected to further improve safety for all road users, including passengers, pedestrians and road workers.”

“Everyone who spends time on our roadways has a story or a negative experience that involves a distracted driver. The latest legislation is another tool to help encourage safer driving habits and ultimately save lives,” Capt. Joshua Jones of the Troy Police Department said in an email. “Our officers have been briefed on the new law and will be out there helping educate the public on its importance. The more buyin we can get from drivers, of all age groups, the safer our roads will become. I like the simple message we put out on our social media: ‘Just Drive.’ Put the phone down, and just drive.”

AUTHORITIES WARN OF DEBT COLLECTION SCAM

METRO DETROIT — The office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is alerting Michigan residents about a new scam in which fraudulent letters are directed to workers and businesses.

The letters attempt to collect an outstanding debt and are part of a scam that fraudulently identifies the sender as the State of Michigan, seeking to unlawfully collect a debt that is owed to the Unemployment Insurance Agency or the Michigan Department of Treasury, which functions as the state’s debt collection agency.

The recipients are threatened with seizure of their bank accounts, wages, business assets, cars, real estate, refunds and cash if past due debts are not paid. The letters use personal information that can be

OF THE WEEK

gleaned from internet records to make their sources sound legitimate and make the threats more likely to result in payment.

Workers and businesses should note that any legitimate letters from the Department of Treasury will be printed on Treasury Department letterhead and will also provide options for paying the debt, as well as outline taxpayer rights. Letters from the UIA will contain information about how to protest and appeal payment determinations. Letters from the treasury or the UIA will always include the names of departmental leadership at the top.

Anyone with questions about their state debts should call the Treasury Collections Service Center at (517) 636-5265. Anyone with a consumer complaint or who believes they have been the victim of a scam can file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Team by calling (517) 335-7599.
