    A professed aerospace manufacturing expert, whom the attorney general is investigating for doing nothing tangible with $2.5 million in grants he received in 2020 and 2021, says he’s in Ghana. And as long as Attorney General Dana Nessel is around, he’s not coming back to Michigan.

    An estimated 3,000 to 4,000 protesters gathered on the Capitol lawn last Saturday in Lansing’s version of the “No Kings” rally. Organizers hoped it would be the largest gathering ever seen there. It didn’t come close. In the last 25 years of Capitol rallies, I can come up with, off the top of my head, at least seven larger demonstrations. I can come up with several more that were much more newsworthy. But that’s not the point. The point is that the event happened. Again.

    In today’s edition of “Things You Never Thought Have Happened Before But Have,” I present to you the 1967-‘68 legislative session.

Byrum isn’t your behind-the-scenes bureaucrat signing marriage licenses and taking your $100 filing fee for political office, after all.

    I’ve got a luxurious view from my Ottawa Street office of that big parking lot between the Hall of Justice and the Ottawa Building. Before COVID, that parking lot — probably 80% to 90% full — emptied out between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the one-way street toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Leaving my office around that time if you were in a rush wasn’t advised. Today, the scene is much different.  State office workers have found (surprise, surprise) that they actually like working from home.
