Detroit police oversight board on back-to-back shootings of men fleeing stops for an obscured plate, plastic cups: “It’s profiling,” “stop-and-frisk,” “STRESS”-esque. Ann Arbor has barred stops for plate violations + more. Can that happen here? My latest: freep.com/story/news/loc…

U-M in my experience is the most recalcitrant entity in our entire state when it comes to FOIA.
Last week, I sent an open records request for some pretty basic and targeted records to 20 major public universities across the country. Records have begun to flow in, none with a charge, except for one: @UMich wants $367 and will do their best to get it to me within 60 days.

11/ So: No, we are not publishing a story. This is how journalism is supposed to work. Hear something. Check something. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as many times as needed. The end.
Mayors, township officials, local police departments and municipal department heads are subject to open records requests in Michigan. But the governor — the most powerful political figure in the state and who guides an $80 billion budget — is not.
By 1900, settlers had wiped out wild turkeys in Michigan. Now they're thriving in even more places in the state than they ever did before. And along the way back, they helped restore moose to the U.P. @freep freep.com/story/news/loc…
