The service and a farewell gathering for him took place on the tribe’s Sault Ste. Marie powwow grounds on Aug. 24. His retirement closes 52 years of serving parishes in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Montana and the eastern Upper Peninsula. For the past 22 years, he served the Diocese of Marquette and parishioners at St. Isaac Jogues in Sault Ste. Marie and the Holy Family in Barbeau. In addition, in 2017 he assumed duties at St. Kateri Tekakwitha in Bay Mills. He is known for combining Anishinaabe and Catholic customs. “I give thanks for all these days,” he told the congregation.

  • October 12Th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We Urge You to Take Up
    October 12th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We urge you to take up and support the substitute version of Senate Bill 241 sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit). The bill places a statewide moratorium on water shut offs through the end of the year and ensures water service is restored to any Michigander currently shut off. Access to water is essential to human life at any time, but even more so during a public health pandemic when hand washing and bathing is critical to limiting spread and exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-144 required public water supplies to restore water service to Michiganders across the state during the state of emergency. The EO allowed low-income households – many of whom are fixed income, unemployed, underemployed and/or essential workers – to have essential water service. The recent Michigan Supreme Court decision invalidated the EO, leaving behind an inadequate patchwork of local policies for water access for our most vulnerable Michigan households, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Michiganders across the state are experiencing financial hardship that has put their access to basic utility services at risk. This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution. Unfortunately, Michigan has no comprehensive water service reporting requirements so access to data on water shut offs is limited. In Detroit – the most glaring example of water unaffordability and shut offs – a Freedom of Information Act request by Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine found that 9,500 occupied homes that were disconnected for non-payment in 2019 were still without service in mid-January 2020.1 Further, a national survey found that the average water utility disconnected five percent of households for nonpayment in 2016, affecting an estimated 15 million Americans.2 EO 2020-144 did include a one-time reporting requirement, but the reporting from public water supplies under the EO was flawed and filled with gaps and missing data points.

  • Local Majority and the Michigan Elections of 2018
    11/21/2018 JR Local Majority and the Michigan Elections of 2018 Overview Since 2011 Michigan has been under a Republican trifecta with a Republican Governor and Republican majorities in the state House and state Senate. In the November 2018 midterm election, Democrats not only broke the GOP trifecta with the victory of Democratic Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer, they also gained two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, maintained their U.S. Senate seats, and made significant inroads into the state legislature. Democrats gained 6 seats each in the state House and state Senate. The Republicans went into the contest with a 63-46 majority in the state House, now whittled down to a 58-52 margin. In the state Senate, Democrats improved their margin from 27-10 to 22-16, thereby depriving Republicans of their supermajority. These Democratic gains in the US House, state house, and state senate were all the more impressive given Michigan’s extreme gerrymandering. Reflecting the record-breaking voter turnout across the country, Michigan’s voter turnout was the highest for midterm elections in nearly 50 years. Good news continued to rock the state for Democrats as they also dismantled the Republican triplex, flipping all three executive leadership spots for Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State. These Democratic wins are especially important because those officials will be overseeing the state’s redistricting process following the upcoming 2020 census. Complementing the electoral results, Michigan voters ushered in by margins of nearly 70 percent significant new laws to ensure fair redistricting processes and protect voting rights across the state.
