 Michigan braces for extreme cold as temperatures plunge into the negatives across West Michigan, prompting Mel Trotter Ministries to activate its cold blue alert with overflow shelter capacity through Monday morning, according to 13 On Your Side reports. Outreach teams are scouring streets for those in need amid the freeze. In a high-profile case, former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore faces felony home invasion, stalking, and misdemeanor breaking and entering charges after his firing for an inappropriate staff relationship; prosecutors say he threatened self-harm at the woman's apartment post-breakup, as detailed by Local 4 News and 13 On Your Side.

Politically, tension escalates as the House Appropriations Committee slashed nearly $645 million in fiscal 2025 work project funding using a rare provision in the Management and Budget Act, targeting infrastructure, indigent defense, and more without Senate or Governor Whitmer input. The Michigan Association of Counties and Detroit Free Press note Democrats decry it as an abuse of power, with potential legal challenges brewing, while Republicans defend fiscal restraint. Meanwhile, a court upheld the state's new marijuana tax in the 2025 Road Funding Plan, rejecting industry claims it amends the 2018 ballot measure.

Economically, optimism shines with Governor Whitmer announcing over 1,300 jobs and $240 million in investments from robotics firm Teradyne in Wixom, creating 230 positions for collaborative robots, and tech innovator Eccalon's Detroit headquarters for AI and cybersecurity hubs. Rural broadband leaps forward with $920 million in federal funds plus matches, poised to add 31,000 miles of fiber. The Michigan Infrastructure Council released its pioneering 30-Year Integrated Infrastructure Strategy in early 2025, prioritizing coordination and pilots like the RICH program for efficient planning.

Community efforts advance too, from northern Michigan redevelopments adding 60 housing units in Cadillac, Escanaba, and Marquette via MEDC support, to MDOT's US-131 safety study highlighting a $500 million renovation need amid funding shortfalls.

Looking Ahead: Watch for MIC's expanded asset management training in 2026, broadband project rollouts over four years, and budget battles as Democrats eye lawsuits and Republicans push reforms.
