On today’s show:
- Latest COVID-19 numbers around the state
- The city of Detroit’s budget is going to be balanced, but there have been some cuts and rainy day fund usage. Also, bonds are being sold for improvements.
- Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock has bought the former Sakthi Automotive campus in Detroit. We have details.
- Home values in Oakland and Macomb counties are way up over the last five years, far above statewide averages. Wayne is too, but pacing below the state’s pace.
- Amazon is hiring thousands in Michigan, starting at $15 an hour.
