Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 15th of April.
Good morning, Bay City.
🚧 Accidents
Bay City Police are increasing patrols around Veterans Memorial Bridge today because accidents and complaints have risen at major intersections.
The department reported a 102% increase in crashes since Lafayette Bridge closed and said officers will focus on busy areas during peak times—especially at McKinley and Saginaw.
💼 Business
SK Group plans to sell a 70.6% stake in SK Siltron CSS at its Monitor Township facility to private equity firm Hahn & Co.—employees were informed of the potential deal last week amid plans to expand operations with a federal loan.
Local officials are not worried about the change, saying business adjustments are normal.
Barney’s Bakehouse Bakery, a 100-year-old local favorite, is moving one mile from its current location to 512 Saginaw Street—its new facility will open in June to better serve loyal customers.
The bakery owner, Jarrid Weighman, said the expansion supports its growing business and community reach.
Dr. Elizabeth Morrison from Oregon filed a lawsuit in Saginaw County Circuit Court after Dr. David L.
Stockman failed to pay her $21,846.87 as agreed in an October settlement—her attorney now seeks a default judgment after weeks of follow-up attempts. Morrison dropped her federal suit in exchange for the promised payment and is now using legal channels to enforce the agreement.
📰 Economy
AAA of Michigan reported that gas prices fell 15 cents per gallon from last week to an average of $3.08 for regular unleaded, which is 8 cents above last month but 62 cents below last year+ they said that if gasoline demand and crude prices drop further, prices may go down more.
📰 Finance
The IRS says more than 40,000 Michigan taxpayers must file their 2021 returns today to claim a refund with a median value of $854—otherwise, over $1 billion in unclaimed funds could go to the U.S. Treasury and may be applied to outstanding debts such as unpaid child support or student loans.
