DAVISON (DTV) – (12/4/2023) – At the end of August the Genesee County Road Commission (GCRC) invited students across Genesee County to create a design to paint on one of their snow plows. Community members were able to vote for their favorite designs on the GCRC Facebook page. Elementary, Middle School, and High School were all separate categories for the community to vote on. Overall, 12 different schools entered the contest with 76 different art entries in total.

The winners were Reid Elementary, Atherton Elementary, and Davison High School! Davison’s own Lucy Stevens’ design won for DHS. After the winners were announced, GCRC dropped off a plow to each school for the students to paint their designs on. When finished, the plows will be displayed outside each school’s nearest GCRC facility and used in winter maintenance operations.

DETROIT (DTV) – (11/26/23) –The Lions stadium is full of energy as the undefeated Belleville tigers face off against the Southfield A&T warriors. You can check out the State Final Story HERE.

At 3 minutes into the game, Southfield A&T made their first touchdown of the night. The kick attempt failed, giving Southfield a starting lead of 6 points. Southfield then stuns the crowd with an extraordinary interception by DaMario Quarles who caught the ball behind his own back!

As the clock winds down for the first quarter, Belleville makes a comeback with a 16-yard touchdown. The kick attempt was good, and Belleville ended the quarter with a lead of 7-6.

The second quarter starts slow, but the Southfield warriors eventually rush 3 yards for their second touchdown of the game. They go in for a 2-point conversion after their kick attempt fails, but a flag went down and the Southfield Warriors settled for a 5-point lead.

Belleville closes the gap by 3 points as they have a successful field goal attempt. This doesn’t last, because with 13 seconds left on the clock, Southfield A&T had a stunning 13-yard pass that resulted in a touchdown. A successful 2-point attempt has them ending the quarter with a 10-point lead, 20-10!

After an entertaining halftime show, the third quarter takes a while to get rolling, with the first touchdown from Southfield at 3 minutes remaining. Their two-point attempt was successful. Belleville scored a touchdown at 1 minute remaining, and with a successful two-point attempt, both teams scored 8 points.

Excitement was in the air as the fourth quarter began. With a game so close, the lead could fall into either team’s hands with the right play. Belleville inches closer to Southfield’s lead after another touchdown.

A shocking comeback as the team climbed their way to the top with two touchdowns. Their lead doesn’t last, as Southfield takes the lead with 47 seconds left in the game! The night ends off with a magnificent last-minute victory from Southfield! The game was a nail-biter, with a close score of 34-32.

No Justice In Flint Water Investigation

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (11/1/2023) – The Michigan Supreme Court has denied appeals from a lower court, completely dismissing the criminal charges against former Governor Rick Snyder and previously 8 other government officials connected to the Flint Water Crisis. The ruling took place after Attorney General Dana Nessel’s appointed prosecutors Fadwa Hammoud and Kym Worthy used a one-person grand jury in these cases which the Michigan Supreme Court invalidated.

DTV asked Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel about justice for the people of Flint recently, and the Attorney General had no update and walked away from our interview.  

Dana Nessel walks away from DTV interview

 

The Flint Prosecution Team released a statement Tuesday evening stating, “Today, our Supreme Court has put the final nail in the coffin of the Flint Water prosecutions. The Court decided that a process that has stood in place for over a century, one whose legitimacy the Court upheld repeatedly, was simply not ‘good enough’ to hold those responsible for the Flint Water Crisis accountable for their actions. Our disappointment in the Michigan Supreme Court is exceeded only by our sorrow for the people of Flint.”Current Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley has pointed to the fact that the strategy of a one-man jury has been used many times, and justice has not been served due to a technicality. 

Back in 2016, former Attorney General Bill Schuette announced charges against top government officials, including manslaughter. However, he did not charge former Governor Rick Snyder. When Dana Nessel was elected Attorney General, she dropped all charges in the Flint Water investigation and launched her own cases, including one against the former Governor. After almost a decade of promises from both Schuette and Nessel, it now appears that there will be no one held criminally accountable for the Flint Water Crisis.
