Nehring's Market owner Kathryn Nehring said a new roundabout at the intersection of Belsay and Bristol roads in Burton will remove driveways and reduce space at her market—she said the change could complicate deliveries.

Michigan will face the first significant heat wave of summer later this week as daytime highs are forecast to hit the 90s by Friday and remain through the weekend.

About 770 residents from Midland, Gladwin, and Saginaw counties signed a letter to Gov. Whitmer asking the state to help with recovery from the 2020 dam disaster—other officials also received the letter.
