One year after leaving the Lions, Matthew Stafford is a Super Bowl champion Sure, some Lions fans are bitter about this news, but it seems the overwhelming majority of fans who watched Matthew Stafford for a dozen years in Detroit are happy to see the quarterback win the Super Bowl. Stafford led the Los Angeles Rams on a game-winning drive in the final minutes of their 23-20 win in Super Bowl 56. Stafford and the Rams took over with a little more than six minutes left, trailing 20-16. Their offense had struggled to get much going since losing Odell Beckham Jr. to a knee injury in the first half. Heck, LA’s rushing attack was doing more harm than good on top of that. The veteran gunslinger led the offense down the field on a 15-play, 72-yard game-winning drive. And he's got the ring to prove it.

Gretchen Whitmer’s administration highlighted when unveiling her budget this week. The $74.1 billion plan also contains plenty of funding proposals for other interesting programs and projects that didn’t immediately make headlines. Things like planting trees in Northern Michigan, building a new psychiatric hospital or studying gun violence prevention efforts. MLive pulled out a few interesting proposals from the massive budget which might fly under the radar: READ MORE Ann Arbor subdivision reckoning with its racist past, repealing 1947 whites-only policy Yard signs throughout the Hannah subdivision in Ann Arbor broadcast a radically different message than the property records on file for the homes. “Black Lives Matter” and “Hate Has No Home Here” are among the values proudly declared by residents along Arbana Drive and Mark Hannah Place west of downtown. But restrictive covenants for the subdivision from 1947 spell out another message: whites only. The subdivision’s covenants, historically used to enforce segregation and keep Blacks and other people of color out, are like thousands of others still attached to properties throughout Ann Arbor and across the United States.

But their availability shouldn’t be used as a reason to forego vaccination, health experts say. “We sometimes hear ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated. I’ll just get the monoclonal antibody (if I catch COVID)’” said Dr. Christine Nefcy, chief medical officer at Munson Healthcare in Traverse City. Bad strategy for a number of reasons, say Nefcy and others. And the current Omicron surge is proving that point. ►Most Michigan health departments rescinding school mask requirements Michigan ski resort chiefs call for climate action, reduce own emissions Leaders at two up north ski resorts recently called for faster climate action – even federal carbon taxes – to stave off the effects of the escalating climate crisis on Michigan’s signature four seasons. Chief executives at both Crystal Mountain and Boyne Mountain resorts in northern Lower Michigan said sustainability efforts at the all-seasons resorts may help offset their operational carbon footprints, but argued bigger, systems-wide actions are needed to prevent an irreparable intensification of the effects of climate change – effects that will impact not just resort operations, but everyone on the planet.
