The Big Three 5-4-22
1 The City of Grand Rapids released a budget proposal Tuesday that decreases funding for the police department and adds more money to the Office of Oversight and Public Accountability (OPA).
While the OPA received $405,781 in funding this year, the budget plans to increase that funding to $2.55 million—a 537% increase.
City Manager Mark Washington said the decision to allocate more funding to OPA—and decrease funding to GRPD—came from "recent events," referring to the death of Patrick Lyoya during a struggle with police.
2 Democrat Carol Glanville was elected to the 74th District House seat, beating Republican Robert Regan.
She won by about 1,600 votes. A third write in candidate received 1,100 votes.
Glanville will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since 1993.
The seat was vacated by Mark Huizenga when he was elected to the State Senate in November 2021.
Meanwhile there was Trump victory in Ohio. JD Vance, author of “Hillbilly Elegy” won the Republican primary.
He’ll face Democrat Tim Ryan in the general.
The winner would replace retiring Sen. Rob Portman.
3 Fall out continues from the release of the Supreme Court draft opinion from Justice Samuel Alito that would send abortion decisions back to the states.
Chief Justice John Roberts called the release "a singular and egregious breach" of trust and directed the marshal of the court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
In a statement, the Supreme Court confirmed the authenticity of the leaked document, but noted that it does not represent a decision in the case. The final opinion is not expected until June and the language could change before it is formally released.
Protests continued yesterday at the steps of the Court
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has vowed not to enforce a 1931 law
