JACKSON, Mich — Well, it's December — a time to reflect on the year that has passed.
As we look back at 2025 and the stories that made the year interesting, touched your hearts, made you smile….or made you worried, maybe mad, I picked out a few topics I thought we would revisit…in the spirit of looking forward to a better New Year.
NUMBER ONE: ROADS.
They made people mad. In more ways than one.
ROAD DIETS — reducing lanes on major roads like US-12 in Jonesville...
…Parnall Road in Jackson…and plans for more of them.
Many neighbors skeptical and worried about the inconvenience…even accessibility to emergency vehicles.
While proponents touted safety as the benefit.
ROAD RAGE was another big story — I talked to a motorist who says he was stabbed by another driver in Jackson.
Court records show the accused — Marcus Burrell — pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon earlier this month, and awaits sentencing.
In Concord just weeks ago, Michigan State Police say one person was killed and another injured after they got out of their vehicles, started fighting, and were hit by another vehicle.
…and, of course, PRICES. Specifically: eggs.
With egg prices spiking earlier this year, I went in search of cheaper eggs…and made it down to Indiana. Hillsdale County neighbors told me they were crossing the state line into the Hoosier State to shop for lower prices.
With egg prices now down from their peak, there's at least one thing we can say got better as the year went on.
