1. No injuries reported after condominium fire in Grand Blanc Township (mlive.com) — Firefighters in Grand Blanc Township quickly knocked down a Saturday morning condominium fire on Country Club Lane, and no one was injured.

2. Flint-area prep hoops: Weekend roundup highlights star scorers, emerging teams (mlive.com) — Grand Blanc basketball fans have plenty to track after a busy weekend of Flint-area high school games, including boys and girls matchups featuring the Bobcats. The roundup highlights scores, standout scorers, and early-season records for Grand Blanc and neighboring schools across the region.
3. ACA subsidy expiration drives higher health insurance costs (neworleanscitybusiness.com) — A Grand Blanc family who relied on Affordable Care Act subsidies now expects their monthly premium to jump from about $500 to at least $700, with higher deductibles, and plans to go without insurance next year. Their story is one of several nationwide examples showing how expiring COVID-era ACA tax credits could force people to downgrade coverage, pay much more, or drop insurance entirely unless Congress acts.
4. Affordable Care Act enrollees say expiring subsidies will hit them hard (news8000.com) — A Grand Blanc family who built their self-employed careers around Affordable Care Act coverage now expects to drop health insurance entirely in 2026 as federal subsidies expire, forcing them to pay cash for care. Their story is one of several nationwide examples of how ending COVID-era ACA tax credits could sharply raise premiums, deductibles, and anxiety for middle-class households.
5. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan governor, author, longtime public servant (freep.com subscription) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has appeared in Grand Blanc for both crisis response and everyday school conversations, including a press conference at Grand Blanc Township Police Department after a deadly church shooting and a back‑to‑school talk at Grand Blanc High School.
