  • How Michigan Stores Its Fine Arts in a Box
    $ Back (https://lansingcitypulse.newsbank.com/browse/MLCP/2002/december/04/1) City Pulse - Cover Story December 4, 2002 Publication: Lansing City Pulse (MI) Word Count: 4141 How Michigan Stores Its Fine Arts in a Box By DANIEL STURM In 1980, when the State of Michigan decided to acquire a major sculpture, the art community chose the world-renowned artist Michael Heizer and proudly purchased "This Equals That," the largest sculpture in the United States. They placed it just west of the Capitol in downtown Lansing. The piece was praised by art critics as a clever geometric concept showing one full circle, two halves, four quarters, and eight eighths, all within a whole. Michigan invested a hefty $540,000- the price one pays for a sculpture referenced in art catalogs worldwide. Irving Taran, a Michigan State University art professor, recalls often picking up visiting friends from the airport and taking them directly to see the monumental sculpture in the middle of the night. "We had popcorn and looked at it. They would say "My god, a Michael Heizer in Lansing, Mich.," and I would say "Amazing, isn't it?" and they would respond "Most amazing!" For capital residents, a starlit evening with popcorn and metropolitan art may never again be possible: Two weeks ago, construction crews began removing the seven iron, oxide-tinted monumental structures to a state warehouse. When the sculpture was fabricated, the concrete objects had been sprayed over a stainless steel, plywood and mesh framework. According to the state Department of Management and Budget, there were cracks in the pieces that let water seep through to rot interior boards.

  • The Helen and William Milliken Scholar Program
    The Helen and William Milliken Scholar Program Michigan Environmental Council (MEC) is pleased to announce The Helen and William Milliken Scholar Program, a competitive $6,000 internship for Michigan college students that will inspire the Great Lake State’s next generation of environmental leaders. Throughout their lives and careers, Helen Milliken and Governor William Milliken followed principle over political expediency to lead our state through difficult environmental conflicts with wisdom and foresight. In doing so, they honored and protected the water, land, fish and wildlife, and natural beauty that distinguish Michigan from all other places on Earth. The Helen and William Milliken Scholar Program will provide an unsurpassed practical experience to Michigan college students who aspire to honor the Milliken legacy with a successful career in environmental law, policy and/or advocacy. Over time, we expect to see Milliken Scholars in top decision-making positions, leading Michigan to a healthy, sustainable and prosperous future. The Basics. Each year a Michigan college student will be selected through a competitive process. The winner will receive a $6,000 prize and complete 400 hours of service learning with MEC. Winners may complete their 400 hours of service learning during any 16-32 week span in the 12- month period following their selection. The service learning experience will focus on a “big idea”—an innovative policy concept or cutting edge advocacy tool—that will help restore Michigan to its once-proud place as a global leader in natural resource conservation and environmental protection. Revolving around that “big idea,” the internship will involve: • In-depth research and production of a written report that’s ready to be shared with the world; • Intensive practice in policymaking processes and various forms of advocacy, including media communications, organizing and lobbying; and • Opportunities to build relationships and receive mentoring from leaders of Michigan’s environmental community past and present.

They look forward to providing future presentations to MI League members. They thanked the members and others that provided testimony or depositions that are listed here as plaintiffs. We also heard a status update on the implementation of Proposal 3, Promote the Vote, and other voting rights legislation from Sharon Dolente, Voting Rights Strategist from the the ACLU of MI. And then Alicia Gurrieri, LWVUS Organizer, inspired us all to take immediate action to urge the U.S. Senate to pass the For the People Act.
