Detroit kids can't afford to miss the first day of school | Opinion
Our young people are watching us every day. They are watching to see if adults show up for them: Not with empty promises but with a seat on a bus, a safe place to be, and educational expectations that they rise higher. And there’s no better place to prove we're serious than getting them ready for school. Ask any teacher what the first week of school feels like and they’ll tell you the same thing it sets the tone for everything that follows.
Spruced-Up Zatarain's Jambalaya
This recipe is a keeper. I did not use 48 oz. of andouille, I split the 48 ounces between chicken, ham and shrimp and andouille. Delighted. I browned the chicken in olive oil and butter, removed it and then added andouille and ham and onion in the remaining oil to saute. Added the cooked chicken. Then followed the recipe. Shrimp was added at the end. However, I had to cook it one hour for my desired consistencey. Low and Slow! Great. Rotel made it really special.

Opinion: Overtaxed Detroit homeowners are still in need of justice
The Duggan administration recently introduced a resolution that attempts to right the wrongs of the historic unconstitutional over-assessment of Detroit property owners. The resolution, while certainly a step in the right direction, falls woefully short of providing justice to those who in most cases were irreparably harmed and does nothing to address, or even acknowledge, the continual over-assessment of the lowest-valued homes in the city.
