  • Facts About Michigan
    APPENDIX D Facts about Michigan NAME The name of the state derives from Michigama, a Chippewa word mean- ing “large lake.” Michigan is nicknamed the Wolverine State. Residents are referred to as Michiganians or Michiganders. SIZE Michigan is 456 miles long and 386 miles wide and has 56,817 square miles of land. POPULATION As of July 1997, the U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates that Michigan has 9,773,892 residents, ranking the state 8th among the 50. CAPITAL Lansing was named the capital city in 1847, and the state capitol building was built in 1879. ADMISSION TO THE UNION On January 26, 1837, Michigan became the 26th state to be admitted. MOTTO Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice, meaning “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.” SEAL The present seal was adopted by the legislature in 1911. At the center is a shield on which a man is depicted standing on a shore with the sun at his back. His right hand is upheld, symbolizing peace, and in his left hand is a gun stock, indicating his readiness to defend his state and nation. Above him is the word Tuebor, meaning “I will defend.” The shield is supported on the right by a moose and on the left by an elk. Below the shield is the state motto and above is a bald eagle, representing the nation. In the bird’s right talon is an olive branch with 13 olives, symbolizing a desire for peace and the 13 original states; in the left talon are three arrows, symbolizing a willingness to defend principle.

Poor people in Detroit are routinely jailed because they cannot afford bail. Meanwhile, similarly situated individuals who can afford bail are routinely released. This unnecessary, unconstitutional, and costly discrimination against indigent people accused of crimes in Detroit is the result of the 36th District Court’s policy and practice of making no inquiry whatsoever into an arrestee’s ability to pay before imposing bail requirements. These impossible cash bail terms operate as de facto orders of pretrial detention, yet the 36th District Court sets them without any of the findings or procedures that the Constitution requires before a court is permitted to order a presumptively innocent person to be detained prior to trial.
