AAA is activating its Tow to Go program for free towing of impaired drivers over St. Patrick's Day weekend in Michigan and 10 other states from 6 p.m. March 14 to 6 a.m. March 18.

The service is available to anyone without membership and transports drivers and vehicles safely within a 10-mile radius—aimed at reducing crashes.

A family-run restaurant that has served Bay City for almost 20 years will close next weekend—its final day is March 23.

Customers can eat during regular hours until then, and gift cards work at other UNO locations.

Michigan House passed a set of bills on Wednesday to help with the teacher shortage.

The proposals would remove fees for teaching certificates and let local boards issue licenses if signed into law—moves that House Republicans say will expand the pool of teachers.

The Michigan House passed a resolution asking high school sports officials to bar transgender girls from playing on female teams — eight Democrats joined House Republicans in the vote.
