@MitchATreadwell Ahhhh, yes - that makes sense now, a MUCH smaller same result happened down here with the Four Lakes Special Assessment (just Midland and Gladwin).
But even continues to deal with oppositional haranguing 😖

@KayGem58 The county boards of each affected county need to agree to the same terms. For the Upper Chain of Lakes (Bellaire Dam) that is Antrim and Charlevoix Counties; for the Elk/Skegmog/Torch Lakes (Elk Rapids Dam) it's Antrim, Kalkaska, and Grand Traverse Counties. It's herding cats.

The Bellaire Dam is currently at its highest water level in recorded history. And on top of that, the entire village is currently without power.
Michigan Storm Chasers@MiStormChasers
The dam in Bellaire is also running wide open today, but waters have risen to levels which are nearing the top of the dam. While the attention and focus has remained on Cheboygan’s dam, other northern Michigan areas are still being impacted as well. 📸Stacy M.

@lxeagle17 @evanwch a lot of talk among tech people that Their Guy* has a chance
English
@evanwch I think the forecasters are saying Steyer will win, but there is a lot of talk among tech people and online posters (where there is a big overlap) that Mahan has a chance. He doesn't, really.
English
On California's governor race: Post-Swalwell, I think a lot of people are significantly underrating Tom Steyer's chances in online discourse, and significantly overrating Matt Mahan's.
Steyer has the airwaves to himself. Mahan has X. What matters?

The Elk Rapids dam is similarly high. And unfortunately, the Special Assessment Districts intended to fund repairs to both districts still haven't been approved. Hopefully the dams hold!!

@hfufheffbehgbe1 @umichvoter His primary was in Q1 (just last month), that has to be factored in
(It will obviously be gynormous, but there should be like zero expectation that it was ever going to NOT be)
English
@umichvoter Did Talarico release his yet btw? I support him but I just wanna see if it was big

Day 13 of her not releasing her Q1 fundraising haul
Haley Stevens@HaleyforMI
I’m not a millionaire, and I’m not running for office to line my pockets. People are tired of politicians getting rich when they should be working for us. Michiganders want transparency from their public servants. Ahead of Tax Day, I'm releasing my 2025 tax return. Every candidate in this race to represent Michigan should do the same.

@AustinHoney30 @TXFirst45 I just recently had an exchange with someone on this, Steil would certainly fit: (Go up for the OP, go down for the replies)

NYC Weboy (aka Wesley)@nycweboy
@Suzierizzo1 @sandibachom Bryan Steil, Guy Reschenthaler and Brian Fitzpatrick recently engaged.
English
@TXFirst45 Steil doesn’t if we assume the male escort was referring to him
English
@AustinHoney30 I mean yes, Peltola being the one to oppose him obviously helps greatly. Just - if ever there's a race where the incumbent does end up losing despite basically no real fault of their own, this would appear to be it, no?
English
@AustinHoney30 That's the thing that's wild and a real temperature-taker of the overall environment, because Sullivan has never particularly been a "weak" incumbent - has he?
English
@admcrlsn OR maybe it's just US-based religion altogether that's gone completely whack-a-doodle 🤔😬
Admittedly I have no dog in the broader Protestantism/Catholicism discourse, but I have also seen over the past week that "Vatican has had major issues with US pastors" entered the chat
English
Been saying this for years — it’s past time for some sort of Reformation for Protestants to fully separate from the Catholic Church.
Reverend Jordan Wells@WellsJorda89710
🚨 Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican. The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend. He was personally invited to join President Trump’s “Board of Peace” — and he refused. Yet he’s been noticeably silent on the real wickedness and aggression driving the ongoing Ukraine war. Why no strong, direct call-out of Putin? Fear? Politics? Selective outrage? Whatever the reason, it reveals a troubling pattern: quick criticism of this American administration, but a pass for evils elsewhere in Europe. I respect true Christian leadership. What I can’t respect is liberal activism dressed up as moral authority. Catholics and Protestants alike deserve better from the Chair of Peter. This isn’t about hating the Pope — it’s about expecting the Vicar of Christ to stand for peace and truth without political favoritism. What do you think? Has the papacy become too political?

@Renee05208714 @admcrlsn Sorry, that wasn't meant to be directed at you - rather at his "pick a lane"
(But in response to yours - he makes no bones about polling itself not being an unbiased field)

@AustinHoney30 that all four would each individually* go even relatively close together otherwise
English
@AustinHoney30 Also LBR all four SHOULD resign BUT the likelihood that all four would go even relatively close together otherwise is like less than zero

Which one of these cities is not on the Grand River in Michigan?

@NickyFrank30 5, 7, 8, 15
I am officially average! 🤣
Putting Atlanta (easily the next biggest one) on this list would put me over the hump, though

@NickyFrank30 I would opine that this would describe people who are not progressive, not moderate, instead they're.........
Byron White?
Completely idiosyncratic.
Possessing a belief system that completely defies any conventional categorization that can be attempted to be slapped on them.

They mean different things to different people. For example, I've heard moderates who say they support universal healthcare but only if Republicans support it too. Some want it, but also want strong limits on immigration and want to keep black people out of their neighborhoods.

As @katz_morris explains, DC consultants just literally don't understand what voters mean when they say moderate. Check out the full convo here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wha…

@clwydwealth @rep_favorite That would help Kyra but not Kimberly.
Mainly, it was this:

KayGem58@KayGem58
@rep_favorite Simple. (Michigander here.) In addition to the "official" nonpartisan listing, the Dem candidates had plenty of $$$ while the Republican ones had basically none of it. This led to: Most you might see day to day is the occasional yard signs for Rs. Ds were on TV. THE END! 🤷♂️
English
@rep_favorite Aren’t they listed as incumbent on the ballots in Michigan? That could explain the massive overperformance in part. Just ppl who vote to retain the incumbent basically
