Clay Wortham v. Village of Barrington Hills

Chris Holman welcomes David Worthams, Director of Employment Policy, Michigan Manufacturers Association, Lansing, MI. This episode of the Michigan Business Beat features an interview with David Worthams, Director of Employment Policy for the Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA), a statewide organization representing nearly 1,800 members — roughly 90% of which are small businesses with 50 or fewer employees — that advocates for manufacturing interests at the state capitol. Worthams, a Lansing policy veteran with experience spanning legislative work, the Michigan Municipal League, and the Michigan Bankers Association, joined the MMA around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The central topic of the interview is the looming Earned Sick Time Act, originally passed via a 2018 ballot initiative, which is set to take effect February 21st of the following year and would require all employers — regardless of size — to provide at least 72 hours of paid leave under terms Wortham describes as poorly defined and litigation-prone. He highlights specific concerns such as vague "practical notice" requirements, the absence of a small business exemption, and a legal presumption that favors employees in disputes. Wortham expressed cautious optimism, estimating roughly a 70% chance that the legislature would pass corrective fixes during the lame-duck session before year's end. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Update College Recruiting - expanded number of scholarships Intro - Larry Monroe Monroe was chosen by the Sox in the first round of the 1974 Major League Baseball draft with the eighth overall selection. After going 11-14 with a 2.91 ERA for the Knoxville Sox in 1976, he earned a late-season call-up to Chicago. He made his big league debut on August 23 against the Detroit Tigers, throwing two scoreless, hitless innings of relief. After his playing days, Monroe worked for the White Sox in various capacities. When Adrian Garrett replaced Vern Law as manager of the Denver Zephyrs in 1984, Monroe was brought in to become pitching coach. He was vice president of scouting and minor league operations from 1990 to 1994 and vice president of free agent and major league scouting until 2000. Monroe was an integral part of the advanced scouting team, which aided the Chicago White Sox in winning the 2005 World Series. More recently, he was an advisor to the baseball department through 2020. Monroe runs the personal pitching training business, Monroe Pitching, geared to young men looking to improve their talents. Monroe is the author of Best-Kept Secrets of Major League Pitching. Scouting story - JC left-handed pitchers in Florida. The mind of a scout. Topics Baseball has been thought of as a physical, mental, and emotional development game. Where have you seen the most changes in the areas of pitching development both positive and negative? TJ epidemic (tip of the iceberg). your thoughts and where do you see the most damage being done in your day-to-day operations? Contributing factors: Improper rest (weekly, monthly, annually), throwing year-round. Max effort philosophy in throwing and performance Pitch counts are adhered to in MILB and MLB but not in privatized amateur baseball Travel and Showcase baseball. Ex. 6 games on a weekend, where else does this happen? Quick story……. Jim Your thoughts on overall pitching development. Where do you place the importance in how you teach and coach? Any thoughts on how we reverse this injury trend? What can we learn from successful pitchers in the past (ex. Mark Buerhle) Any stories on the “Kiddie Core”, Dotson, Burns, Trout, Hoyt, and Wortham and how the White Sox were able to develop quality young starting pitching? In your scouting years (various roles) what were the things you looked for in a young pitcher? Any stories that show this thought process? One of my colleagues often quotes or shares talks given by Leo Mazzone and Don Cooper. Any personal insight on how the White Sox with Don Cooper was successful in developing quality pitchers? Mike Porzio story - how a different voice can alter a player's perception. How winter ball was used as an aid in development. Manageable workload was a part of development, now it appears MILB is merely the safety squad, trying to keep pitchers healthy by not throwing. MLB developed the Fall League for top prospects ( I believe spearheaded by Roland Hemond), bit now the top pitchers are usually not allowed to throw due to workload concerns. Any you would like to speak about please include.
