Augustus Straker Bar Association, the Wolverine Bar Association, and the Black Women Lawyers Association of Michigan will present the “Virtual Expungement Forum III: Cleaning the Slate” webinar Saturday, March 18, from10 a.m. to noon via Zoom.
This webinar will look at Michigan’s automatic process to expunge certain criminal convictions without filing an application for expungement with a court. The program seeks to inform and prepare citizens to benefit from the state’s Moving Forward process if they are eligible for this method of erasing their criminal record. Panelists speaking will include Sharon Whiteside, Kimberly Thompson, Wayne County 36th District Court Judge Tenisha R. Yancey, and Michael Ajami.
There is no cost to attend the webinar. For additional information or to register, visit https://strakerlaw.org/meetinginfo.php.
Commission to hold town halls for utility customers affected by storm outages
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to ensure that Michigan residents are aware of upcoming town halls that the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) has scheduled in Dearborn and online to listen to residents’ power outage concerns.
“The Michigan Public Service Commission decides whether or not utilities receive their requested rate increases or are required to provide other accommodations like automatic credits during sustained power outages,” Nessel said. “My office has advocated time and time again before the Commission and even hosted our own Town Halls on this matter. This is an opportunity for Michigan residents to ensure their concerns are heard.”
Many residents have been dissatisfied with the $25 credit mandated by Michigan’s service quality rules. Nessel has also called on the utilities to automatically credit customers who suffer from outages and to increase the outage credit.
The MPSC will conduct a town hall on Monday, March 20, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Fordson High School Auditorium, 13800 Ford Road in Dearborn.
The MPSC also will conduct a virtual town hall meeting, live-streamed over Microsoft Teams, on Tuesday, March 21, from 6 to 8 p.m. A link to participate through Microsoft Teams will be posted by the MPSC closer to the day of the virtual town hall on the event’s webpage at www.michigan.gov/mpsc/commission/events/2023/03/21/virtual-town-hall---electric-outages.
