    A CLEAN SWEEP for the GOP from a Stunning Upset Win for Businessman Donald Trump to Become the 45Th President Elect of the United States, to the GOP Retaining the U.S

    A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE GOP From a stunning upset win for businessman Donald Trump to become the 45th president elect of the United States, to the GOP retaining the U.S. Senate and House, Republicans keeping their 9- 5 margin in the U.S. Congress, blocking any attempt by the Democrats to take control of the Michigan House of Representatives and maintaining a lock on the Michigan Supreme Court, it was a remarkable Republican victory. TRUMP RIDES A POPULIST THEME TO THE WHITE HOUSE Connecting with a “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” feeling among the electorate, many of whom had never voted before, Donald Trump squeezed out a nail biter victory over the long presumed winner Hillary Clinton and put a big dent in the legacy of President Barack Obama. For the first time since 1988, it appeared likely that Michigan would go Republican in selecting a U.S. President. REPUBLICANS HOLD 9-5 EDGE IN U.S. HOUSE Retired Lt. General Jack Bergman crushed former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson 55 to 40 percent to win big in the 1st Congressional District where incumbent U.S. Representative Dan Benishek (R- Crystal River) did not seek reelection. In the 8th Congressional District Mike Bishop (R-Rochester) scored a healthy 57 to 39 percent margin victory over Democratic challenger Suzanna Shkreli and U.S. Representative Tim Walberg coasted to his fifth-term win by defeating Gretchen Driskell 59 to 36 percent. And former Ross Educational CEO Paul Mitchell was a first-time winner in his expected defeat of former Representative Frank Accavitti in Michigan’s 10th Congressional district.

    LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE STATE OF MICHIGAN Best Practices Resolution A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Lansing Community College was held in the Board Room of the College, Administration Building, 610 North Capitol Avenue, Lansing, Michigan 48933, in the Community College district, on September 18, 2017, at 6:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Daylight Time. PRESENT: Abood, Buck, Mathews, Meyer, Proctor, Smith ABSENT: Hidalgo The following preamble and resolution were offered by Trustee Proctor and supported by Trustee Mathews. The Board of Trustees of Lansing Community College resolves as follows: Public Act 108 of 2017, Section 230, originates from an omnibus public education bill passed by the Michigan legislature that includes a $32,234,200 appropriation for Lansing Community College. Among the components of the appropriations for all Michigan community colleges is performance funding based on “local strategic value,” which is defined in terms of three categories as shown below. Each category covers five standards of local strategic , called “best practices.” The law requires the LCC Board of Trustees to pass a resolution certifying that the college meets at least four of five of the best practice standards under each of the three categories. Lansing Community College not only meets but also exceeds the best practice standards required by the appropriations law, as the following table demonstrates.

It was a year of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, great 2020 turmoil, and divisiveness, and a year that ripped at our souls over the civil unrest that erupted on multiple occasions. The pain of our nation’s failures to come to grips with social justice was felt throughout our communities and within all of our organizations. If there is good news to come out of the past 12 months, it has been in a renewed commitment to elevating the cause of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). This month’s Focus cover story features several organizations that have TIM DAMAN been among the leaders in DE&I for many years, in some cases, for decades. President and CEO We wanted to highlight the great work that is already being done and Lansing Regional showcase some of the best practices and challenges involved in building a Chamber of Commerce DE&I culture. As leaders, all of us need to be Not surprisingly, organizations that have established DE&I initiatives willing to be vulnerable and have utilized the past year’s civil unrest to strengthen their commitment face our shortcomings in the further. Leaders at the highest levels of these organizations conducted town hall meetings and listening tours where they heard first-hand the DE&I makes our organizations concerns that their team members feel about social injustice and how it impacts their everyday lives.

On March 16, 2020, I issued an emergency order closing all City buildings to the public and sending a large portion of our workforce to work from home due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. We were faced with the same questions as the rest of the country: how to run a city while protecting our employees and our residents? City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes. Ingham County Parks Millage funded work continued to maintain and improve the Lansing River Trail by resolving riverbank erosion near Moores Park that included fortifying the riverbank and repairing fencing.
