ACLU attorney Jay Kaplan said the request challenges established law — if reversed, same-sex couples in Michigan might have to marry out-of-state.
The Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners has approved nine local organizations to receive over $2.2 million in opioid settlement funds to support substance abuse prevention and treatment programs – the grants will be distributed over three years to help local residents.
