Michigan Pushes for Death Transparency in Foster Care | Detroit News

A tragic death in a Michigan adult foster care home has sparked urgent calls for reform. Kelly Harris died just four days after moving in, reportedly from a lack of insulin — a failure that’s now prompting criminal charges against the facility operator. With no public death registry, the state struggles to track patterns of neglect, especially when families aren’t involved. Advocates and lawmakers are pushing for mandatory reporting and transparency to protect vulnerable residents and empower families to make safer choices. This case underscores a critical gap in oversight — and the growing momentum to fix it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Oakland County Drones Under Scrutiny | Detroit News

Oakland County is moving to tighten drone use rules after community outcry, with a new policy requiring transparency on how departments like sheriff’s, parks, and treasury use drones — covering operator training, data privacy, and public access. While some worry about privacy and constitutional overreach, others see drones as essential tools for missing persons, crime scenes, and property assessments. The current $2.5M two-year program faced internal dissent, but the proposal now heads to the full Board for a vote amid ongoing debates over public input procedures and legal challenges to recall efforts.
