ST. CLAIR SHORES How much water a property retains and how much runs off into the storm sewers could be calculated for each parcel in St. Clair Shores, under a new proposal put forward to pay for the infrastructure that prevents flooding in the city.
“Every day it rains, the city of St. Clair Shores has a robust infrastructure to maintain and really stop flooding. You have a lot of mechanical means to keep basements dry, (keep) streets from flooding,” said James Burton, a vice president at Hubbell, Roth and Clark, the city’s engineering firm.

WARREN/MOUNT CLEMENS The legal foundation tied to a conservative public policy think tank has filed a lawsuit against the city of Warren, alleging that it failed to honor a public records request seeking both the names and salaries of city employees.
The lawsuit, filed on March 1 in Macomb County Circuit Court, came after an online report from Michigan Capitol Confidential, an information arm of the Midland-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy. The report, details of which were later confirmed by Warren city administrators, cited 2020 salaries for some city firefighters that approached or exceeded $200,000 as a result of increased overtime.
