Today's event highlighted investments included in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Fiscal Year 2025 budget that bolster the office's efforts that help companies and individuals take full advantage of the good-paying, middle-class jobs coming to Michigan. These investments include $2.5 million to support staff and operations for the historic new office, which is one of the first of its kind in the country, and $8.6 million for a Community & Worker Economic Transition Pilot Fund that will be used to develop critical resources to help impacted communities and workers prepare for economic transitions in the years ahead, and pilot innovative programs in future years to fill gaps in services available to communities, workers and businesses navigating clean energy transitions. “We're thankful for the leadership of the governor and state legislature in providing funding for the Economic Transition Office and for their commitment to ensuring an equitable and just clean energy transition for Michiganders across the state,” said Jonathan Smith, senior chief deputy director of LEO. “Our continued collaboration with partners and stakeholders will remain critical as we work to best leverage these investments and make certain that resources are utilized to adequately address the needs of those impacted by the economic shifts happening in Michigan.” The roundtable is the 10th in a series of community events held by the Economic Transition Office this year and echoed summaries included in the recently published Community & Worker Economic Transition Office Roundtable Summary Report, which documents key insights, feedback and suggestions gathered during eight previous roundtables held in other regions across the state.

Also: haunted urn gymnastics, ritual birthmarks, a cheese grater mishap, armadillo teleportation, and a touching reminder that kindness still matters—even when your neighbor might be a Siberian shaman. Come for the mystery. Stay because your pet just growled at the speaker and now you can't blink. BOO is powered by your stories—and possibly interdimensional rodent portals. #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #WeirdPodcast #ListenerTales #HauntedUrn #ImaginaryFriendOrDemon #SiberianShamanNeighbor #PossessedCat #BunkerTourism #PodcastWeirdness #StayBizarre #FreakFlagFlying Learn more about your ad choices.

Morgan Manspeaker chats with Indy Fuel captain Chris Cameron prior to the April 11, 2025 game against Kalamazoo.

This episode looks into the historical 1924 controversy over "common grace" that led to the formation of the Protestant Reformed Church. Our hosts explore how Abraham Kuyper's theological concepts, brought from the Netherlands to America, sparked significant debate within the Christian Reformed Church. They examine the three points of common grace adopted by the CRC Synod of Kalamazoo and why figures like Herman Hoeksema rejected these principles. The conversation touches on the theological nuances between different Dutch terms for grace, the complex relationship between common grace and antithesis, and how these concepts have been applied (and sometimes misapplied) in engaging with culture and scholarship over the past century.

Skip the banter: 00:10:40 It was a warm February day in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 2016. A simple Uber ride turns into a heart-pounding nightmare as passenger Matt Mellon finds himself trapped with an unhinged driver, Jason Dalton, speeding through residential streets at 80 mph, a German shepherd cowering in the backseat. What starts as erratic driving spirals into something far darker—a rampage that leaves six dead, two clinging to life, and a community in shock.
