There is a move afoot in the Michigan House of Representatives that, if successful, will elimi- nate the requirement of municipalities to publish legal notices in newspapers. Instead, the spon- sors of a six-bill package say it would be suf- ficient for municipalities to post the notices in the clerk's office and on one of the following: the municipality's Web site, on a public, education or government (PEG) channel broadcasted in the municipality, or on a newspaper's Web site. "We go to the gym. I take 'Play outside."
