Page 2 Sprint and Splash raises nearly $10,000 for blue economy By Amanda Priemer Macomb County Planning and Economic Development The second annual Sprint and Splash event has proved to be a success as just under $10,000 was raised to benefit the local blue economy. All proceeds will benefit the Lake St. Clair Tourism Initiative, the Clinton River Watershed Council and Six Rivers Regional Land Conservancy, which all work on different levels to pro- mote Macomb County’s rivers and lakes. The event was held on Saturday, June 15 at Lake St. Clair Metropark in Harrison Township. Thanks to beautiful weather, helpful volunteers and enthusiastic participants, the event was an enormous success. Sprint and Splash began at 8 a.m. with a 6-mile stand-up paddle board- ing competition. This was a World Paddle Association sanctioned race that attracted approximately 30 athletes, many of whom traveled across the state or the region to compete. The duathlon and 5K run kicked off shortly after with over 200 runners. Both of these events have grown significantly from the first year, 120 peo- ple participated in the 5K run and 84 people participated in the duathlon. The event concluded with an exciting 2-mile recreational stand-up paddle- boarding race. The sport has become increasingly popular and attracted around 50 racers, both novice and experienced. Henry Ford Health system was the presenting sponsor. Other sponsors included: Baker Machining, ITC Holdings, the Kayak Store, Snap Fitness, Chicken Shack, Renewal by Anderson, and Detroit Surf Company.

  • Michigan Voters Support Further LGBT Protections
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 1, 2015 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Michigan Voters Support Further LGBT Protections Raleigh, N.C. – With gay marriage legal in Michigan now voters want to take the next step and ban discrimination against LGBT people in employment and housing. 68% support a law making it illegal to fire or deny housing in Michigan because someone is gay, lesbian, or transgender to only 25% who are opposed. 56% of voters say they would 'strongly' support such legislation. There's a bipartisan consensus on the issue with 76% of Democrats, 66% of independents, and 60% of Republican in support. Voters are also quite opposed to two anti-gay GOP legislative efforts going on right now. Only 34% think adoption agencies that receive money from the state should be allowed to deny services to families they say violate their religious beliefs, with 52% saying they should not be allowed to do that. Independents are particularly opposed to that legislation at 29/55. There's even less support for the proposal to make it so that only clergy can perform weddings in the state, making it harder for same sex couples to get married. Only 16% of voters support that to 69% who are opposed and the opposition on that is bipartisan with independents (13/73), Democrats (15/71), and Republicans (22/63) all firmly against it. “Michigan voters are pretty clear- across party lines- that they think discrimination against LGBT people should be illegal,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.

    June 30, 2020 The Honorable John Henderson Assistant Secretary of the Air Force 1670 Air Force Pentagon Washington, D.C, 20330-1670 Subject: United States Space Command Basing Nomination Dear Secretary Henderson: On behalf of the people of Sterling Heights, Michigan, I am submitting our nomination for consideration to host the headquarters for United States Space Command. Michigan is a national leader in innovation and is known as the “Arsenal of Democracy.” Adding the headquarters for the United States Space Command to the existing arsenal would be logical, relevant, and functional. Michigan has the industrial base, elite academic institutions, skilled manpower, strategic geographic location, and military infrastructure capacity to be a key component for future United States Space Forces. After careful review of the screening and evaluation criteria, we believe Sterling Heights, Macomb County, and Selfridge Air National Guard Base exceed all eligibility requirements and would earn a very competitive score when assessed against the evaluation criteria. Selfridge ANGB sits just 15 miles from Sterling Heights, a major epicenter for aerospace, defense, and automotive activity and ingenuity. Macomb County will be able to welcome staff and their families, as the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn region is ranked 14th in Metropolitan Statistical Areas; and Sterling Heights in Macomb County can provide a high quality of life for the United States Space Command workforce with a livability score of 53 as determined by the American Association of Retired Persons Public Policy Institute. Further, Selfridge ANGB is home to the largest Air Force Base in the Reserve Component with all the amenities of an Active Component Installation.
