Good morning, Lansing. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 28th of May.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Lansing’s Durant Park is known for its grand archway entrance built of Indiana limestone that was completed in 1924 and stands at the park’s edge. General Motors founder William C. Durant bought a block of three acres in 1919, landscaped it and donated it to the city in 1921—today the park features mature trees, a circular garden, a red, white and blue tree-like sculpture, a playground, benches, grills and a covered performance stage. Lansing State Journal
CRIME NEWS
- ➤ On May 27, police arrested a 17-year-old student and a 50-year-old woman after school officials recovered a handgun from the student at Everett High School—he had been removed from the parking lot for acting suspiciously—while authorities investigate the incident. Lansing State Journal
CULTURE NEWS
- ➤ MSU’s Department of Theatre is set to launch the Summer Circle Theatre season from June 5 to June 22 with three productions and extra pre- and post-show events including cabarets and improv — providing free outdoor shows for our community. Performances will take place in the SCT Courtyard on campus with free parking in Lot 9 and an indoor backup in heavy rain — ensuring a smooth experience for local audiences.

- ➤ After a gun was found at Dwight Rich School of the Arts on May 22, Superintendent Ben Shuldiner said that metal detectors and extra staff will remain until the school year ends on June 6—no one was injured and a comprehensive safety plan will be developed over the summer. Lansing State Journal
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ MDHHS announced that the Summer EBT program—also known as SUN Bucks—will give low-income families a one-time payment of $120 per eligible child added to their Bridge card or send a preloaded card by mail. The program covers children aged six to eighteen who receive SNAP, TANF, Medicaid with income at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level or free or reduced-price lunch, and any unused benefits will expire.

- ➤ Michigan lawmakers are reviewing a bill to let police use roadside saliva tests on drivers suspected of drugged driving to help prevent crashes. A 2019 pilot showed an 11% error rate — a fact that raised privacy concerns about DNA storage — and the bill must pass the Senate before it can become law. Stacks 92.1
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Medicaid cuts could drive Michigan hospitals toward insolvency as HR 1 passed in the House by one vote—hospitals that already run on thin margins face added risk, with six at imminent risk of closure and 14 more potentially closing later. One in five adult residents depends on Medicaid for care, and further funding losses may leave 22 communities without emergency room access. Lansing State Journal
