| One Count of Delivery and Manufacture of
Marijuana was authorized yesterday for 21-year old James Beaumont of
Grand Rapids. He has been arraigned and released on $5,000 cash bond.
This charge was the result of officers responding to a report of a
suspicious vehicle and observing suspected marijuana in the already
open truck of the vehicle on Wenonah Street and Keewaydin Street in
Negaunee. Along with the suspected marijuana, this investigation also
resulted in the seizure of over $1,400 in cash and the vehicle. Deputies from the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a breaking and entering of Gary’s Knotty Pine Bar in Arnold that occurred sometime after midnight and 6:30 am yesterday. It appears entry was gained through a door on the east side of the bar by prying the lock away from the door frame. Employees doing an inventory of the bar report to Deputies about 100 bottles of various brands of liquor was stolen and 16 packs of cigarettes. Evidence is being collected from the bar and the investigation is continuing. Sheriff’s Deputies are asking if anyone has any information about this incident or might have seen something suspicious to call the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office for Lt. Steven Kangas and 906-225-8470 or dial 911. State Representative Judy Nerat (D-Wallace) voted to ban legislators from voting on a bill when a conflict of interest is present. This plan is part of a wave of government reforms that Nerat has supported to tighten ethics laws and make elected officials more accountable to the people they represent. Last month, Nerat voted for a plan to ban lawmakers from applying for or accepting state grants while in office and prohibit candidates, including elected officials, from accepting or soliciting campaign contributions in state or municipal buildings and offices. Nerat also has supported additional government reforms to cut lawmakers' salaries – including her own – by 10 percent, prohibit legislators from becoming lobbyists for two years after leaving office and end taxpayer-funded lifetime health care for state lawmakers. U. S. Secretary of Education Duncan announced that an additional $429 billion is now available for Michigan under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. To date, Michigan has received over $2.7 billion through the Recovery Act. The state recently reported that recovery dollars have been used to provide funding for more than 9,300 education jobs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009, while also supporting programs that drive education reform. |
