Five miles long, it curves gracefully across the waters of the Great Lakes. Traffic moves swiftly and smoothly across its great length twelve months of the year. With a price tag of $100 million it is the product of man's imagination and a monument to man's persis- tance. The first proposals to bridge the Straits are found in Indian legends. Ever since the task of con- quering the travel barrier has colored man's thoughts. The concept of conneCting the two peninsulas traces thread-like down.through the pasn eighty years of Michigan's history. This is the story of the political loops and turns, knots and tangles in that thread. It is the story of the role and effect of the bridge in the politicalcampaigns of the twentieth century, which is pinpointed through analysis of election statistics. It is the story of Horatio Earle, Prentiss harsh Brown, Lmrray Van Wagoner, w.s. woodfill, and G, Lbnnen Williams, Although the bridge did not change the direction of Michigan political hiStory, it probably swayed its course simply because it was seized upon as an issue by candidates of every ilk and stripe.

  • Interview with John W. Swainson
    INTERVIEW WITH JOHN W. SWAINSON Sponsored by Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society Conducted by Roger F. Lane October 18-19, 1990 Topic 1: Justice Swainson talks about his educational background, serving in all three branches of state government, and his election to the Supreme Court in 1970. He then discusses his first case on the Michigan Supreme Court, People of the State of Michigan vs. Jondreau Justice Swainson: To make it available, and then nobody wants to look at it. Oftentimes, I find myself in the same position. Mr. Lane: The red light is on, and that means... Justice Swainson: It's operating. Mr. Lane: It's operating, and this is former Justice John B.

Today is October 17, 1990. I would like to suggest, Justice Swainson, that we start this off with a little bit of sort of background about how it was that you came to the Supreme Court. I assume that when you went to, was it Duke University Law School...? Justice Swainson: No, Roger. I graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1951 with a combined A.B. and L.L.B. degree. I had sought to further my education in that area mainly because of the weather conditions. I had returned from World War II having suffered a grievous injury which necessitated the amputation of both my legs, and while I sought to further my education under the G.I.

  • Michigan's Emergency Powers Law Was Always Controversial
    September 8, 2020 Michigan’s Emergency Powers Law Was Always Controversial But history shows no governor tried to stretch its use as far as Summary Gov. Whitmer is trying now The law Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is By Michael Van Beek using to justify her unilateral COVID executive orders has historically been Once a rarely used and obscure statute, the Emergency Powers of Governor used primarily to deal with riots, and Act of 1945 is the most talked about Michigan law in 2020. It’s what when it wasn’t, it stirred controversy. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is using to justify her unilateral control over the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Her use of it has stirred up Main text word count: 712 controversy and inspired a citizen-led initiative to repeal the law. But the history of the EPGA shows that it was repeatedly controversial, especially when applied to situations other than riots. The law was conceived after riots in Detroit in 1943. Donald Leonard, a commander with the Michigan State Police, wrote the bill. He aimed to give governors temporary powers to issue executive orders that had the force of law during riots. He believed it would be easier for the police to control crowds under these orders. When compared to modern-day legislation, the EPGA is short and sweet. But the language is broad and ill-defined. For instance, it says governors may use these powers “during times of great public crisis, disaster … or similar public emergency within the state,” but it does not define any of those terms.
