Legislation to repeal the sales tax on diapers has not received enough votes to pass the Michigan state House.

There is a push to end the Michigan sales and use tax on diapers for both infants and adults.

JACKSON, Mich. – Three Corrections Department officers who were killed on duty, including one in 1893, have been honored with memorial signs along Interstate 94 in Jackson County. “To me, it's a bittersweet day,” Paul Ajegba, director of the Transportation Department, said at an event Monday. But it's sweet in the sense that we're recognizing their service to the state of Michigan.”George Haight, a veteran of the Civil War, died in 1893. He was the first prison employee to be killed in the line of duty when an inmate poisoned his food. “It is out of duty that we not forget those that serve and have given the ultimate in sacrifice,” state Rep. Julie Alexander said.
