On this week’s Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Grand Valley State University’s Matt McLogan joins Press political editor Jeff Cranson to talk about Gov. Rick Snyder’s bold ambitions, Michele Bachmann’s visits to Grand Rapids and Troy and what to expect from Michigan’s Congressional delegation in the new session:
1. Gov.-elect Rick Snyder takes over on Saturday and promises immediate change. Outside of pushing a two-year spending plan, instead of the normal one-year budget, what can we expect out of the gate? Does his 6 percent corporate income tax fly with the Legislature? And what of the idea of capping at 80 percent the insurance premium share paid by a government agency or school district? Or another idea from Senate Republicans to ask voters to install a temporary, across-the-board wage cut for public employees in the constitution?

Detroit Adult Entertainment: DETROIT 187 Set Visit and Erin Cummings Video Interview
December 30, 2010 at 5:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThese were a few of the people that populated my first experience with Detroit and it showed a side full of passion and initiative for the city they lived in. Every city has its share of flaws – the slums and dark alleys many wouldn’t walk alone – but there is a vitality and heart that I hope others get to see. But enough about my trip, onto the interview, right?
Erin Cummings has had a busy year in television by most accounts. Her first big role this year came as a star in Starz’ Spartacus: Blood and Sand, a gritty depiction of the gladiatorial games with a focus on Spartacus, sex, and lots of blood. Later in the year she landed a role in Mad Men, in which she plays a call girl that will be remembered for her scene where she slaps Don Draper. Her latest role as the Wayne County Medical Examiner, Dr. Abbey Ward, in Detroit 187 is small, but her scenes are always welcome. Dr. Ward seems to have a quick one-liner in every appearance that gives her character a spunky and fun vibe.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Feds will let lawyer review (248) call list in escort bust
December 30, 2010 at 5:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThe move comes a day after lawyer Paul DeCailly, who represents Miami Companions co-owner Greg Carr, filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Detroit accusing prosecutors of picking and choosing which Metro Detroit clients would be identified as allegedly hiring $500-per-hour prostitutes.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office had said DeCailly could review names from only the 313 and 734 area codes, not 248.
…
Prosecutors busted the international escort service in July, indicted the owners and three employees on prostitution or money-laundering charges and seized a black book with tens of thousands of customer names, job details and contact information.
Prosecutors have accused Carr and his ex-wife Laurie Carr of running an Internet-based sex empire that dispatched waves of prostitutes to hotels and beachfront villas around the world. The Miami-based ring listed Detroit as one of its busiest U.S. stops.
Detroit Massage Parlors: Covey Outlines Ferndale Successes, Challenges
December 30, 2010 at 3:48 am | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsAt the top of the list is Ferndale’s reputation as an “open, welcoming, safe, diverse and fun” city, a particularly goal for Covey as Michigan’s only openly gay mayor.
Estimated at 20 percent of the city’s voting population, Ferndale’s gay community has become an “integral part of the fabric of the city,” said Covey, a key supporter of the city’s 2006 human rights ordinance.
“They took a chance on Ferndale,” the mayor said. “They fixed up their homes, opened up and supported businesses, joined in volunteerism on boards and commissions.”
Covey also praised the seniors “who stuck by her” in the days before Ferndale’s decade long revival as well as the families now moving into the city of roughly 22,000.
When Covey first moved to the city in the 1980s, he said, the city was home to both an X-rated movie theater and massage parlor, two types of businesses now gone from the city.
