AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoBroadband Expansion: Michigan has signed 23 agreements to move high-speed internet projects closer to construction, including service for nearly 20,000 homes around Big Rapids and in seven nearby counties. Foster Care Oversight: A state audit found the Michigan Children’s Institute actively monitored fewer than half of the foster-care cases under its guardianship; MDHHS disputed the findings and said it works with other parts of the system to fulfill its duties. Environment: Treatments on the Pere Marquette River and Gurney Creek targeted sea lamprey larvae. Lake Michigan’s adult lamprey estimate fell to 20,211, just below the annual target, though its three-year average remains above it. Economy: Michigan’s September unemployment rate held at 5%, but employment fell by 27,000 and the state’s rate remained higher than the national 4.2%. Elections: Early in-person voting begins this weekend, and voters will decide in November whether to call a constitutional convention—a proposal Michigan voters have rejected each time it has appeared.
