In this month’s @crainsdetroit Forum, I look at the one of more complex hurdles to achieving education funding equity in Michigan: Higher tax school districts that got a special deal to be better-funded 27 years ago when lawmakers wrote Proposal A.

This is Gardenia Avenue in Madison Heights, a stark dividing line for education equity in Detroit's suburbs.

On one side of the street, kids get $8,111/year in taxpayer support for their education. On the other, kids get $10,789 or 33% more.

As the new school year approaches in Michigan, one thing is clear: Remote learning will play a bigger role than it ever has, and it won't work for everyone.

In Michigan last week, Donald Trump lamented the “big” auto plants are being constructed in Mexico.

Except there’s a ginormous auto plant being built 6 miles from where Trump was standing.

Trump sending mixed messages on competing with China.

My column:
detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…
Trump invites Chinese automakers to build vehicle assembly plants “in Michigan or at least some place in our country."

But then he opposes a Chinese auto supplier (Gotion Inc., partly owned by Volkswagen) building a plant in Michigan.

Well, which is it?

Meet Kelley Miller (left), 54, of Mulliken, Mich. Kelley was paralyzed from the neck down in a 2011 car accident. She needs a ventilator to breathe and requires 24-7 care @ home. For a decade, Michigan's auto insurance safety net for catastrophic injuries has provided that care🧵
I first wrote about Kelley Miller back in April when the impact of the Legislature's 45% cut in payments to home health care agencies that care for injured drivers came into focus.

Because her ventilator can fail, Kelley needs an RN and aide at home.

In October, 1st Call Home Healthcare in Clinton Twp. dropped Kelley Miller as a patient, citing the 45% in payments.

Two of her nurses started a new company called RN Plus Staffing, hoping to exploit a loophole in the 2019 law that sets rates based on what 2019 charges.

NEW from me: A federal judge in Detroit has disqualified attorneys for @Allstate Insurance Co. and an entire law firm in an auto insurance medical bill lawsuit for their "scorched-earth tactics" and lying under oath.

Eye-opening ruling in a RICO lawsuit:

crainsdetroit.com/law/allstate-a…
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Stafford let @Allstate's attorneys have it in a biting 28-page opinion that found one lawyer lied on an affidavit and under oath about having an unethical conversation with a pharmacist Allstate was suing over his billing.
crainsdetroit.com/law/allstate-a…
Out-of-state insurance companies like Allstate, State Farm & Liberty Mutual have been using the federal RICO statute to round up groups of medical providers and accuse them of a criminal-like conspiracy to overbill insurers. Providers almost always settle, except this one... 3/

CAUTION: I'm about to write a long thread about the state of home health care in Michigan right now following the upheaval of our state's system of care for catastrophically injured motorists.

Michigan legislators, take cover...
John Wicke, the 52-year-old quadriplegic man I wrote about last week, is still living at Sparrow Hospital because his home health care agency quit because the Legislature & @GovWhitmer cut their pay by 45% on July 1.

crainsdetroit.com/voices-chad-li…

Wicke's case manager told me this morning that MediLodge, a chain of nursing homes, declined to accept John last week.

Now she's trying to find 1 or 2 home health care agencies that will take on his case. He requires 2 aides to move him in his apartment in Corruna.
