State official covers highlights from recent budget agreement, adds it's 'a good complement' to local tax up for renewal.

“It’s the millage that covers the majority of it. That makes up almost 50% of the local Council on Aging’s budget, Crawford said, acknowledging the role state policy plays in senior services. “They take them to the farmer’s market, they get fresh, locally grown produce,” Nestle said. Laura Nestle, the council’s foster grandparent program director, coordinates Project Fresh and said it’s a federal program, but that the state of Michigan made the call. “If you look at the meals program, there’s the state and federal funds, but that only covers a small portion of the meal,” Crawford said. There’s other counties that there’s waiting lists to be put on the meals program. The state budget, he added, also “implements a proposal that we’ve made to bolster dental coverage for Medicaid,” leveraging better access to dental services for better health outcomes overall. “But now, for some reason this year, they restricted it to just two for each person. “The farmers turn it back in, and they get reimbursed. “I don’t know if you’ve ever had a dental problem, but it is like life-ruining. So, it helps low-income seniors eat better, it helps the farms. “It’s a good complement to the millage I know is up for reapproval again here in August,” he said.

Navy officer must serve time for crash deaths, Tokyo High Court rules (Stars and Stripes)

A U.S. Navy officer, Lt. Ridge Hanneman Alkonis, convicted of negligent driving resulting in the deaths of two Japanese citizens, must serve his three-year ...

“I feel the pain, shame and sorrow in every way possible,” he told the panel. “We don’t put people in prison for heart attacks, we don’t put people in prison for strokes. “This was a tragic event that resulted in the loss of two precious lives, and tremendous pain for everyone involved,” spokeswoman Cmdr. Katie Cerezo told Stars and Stripes by email Wednesday. “We respect the judicial process. However, video-recorded interrogations are not required in most criminal investigations, according to the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. Although a Navy doctor examined their son days after the crash, Japanese law enforcement never conducted their own medical examination. He said the three-judge panel considered Alkonis’ remorse, the fact he has three children and that he paid the victims’ families $1.6 million in compensation. His defense team said a three-year prison sentence was “severe and unjust.” Alkonis testified Aug. 24 that he lost consciousness due to a case of mountain, or altitude, sickness. A second woman, 53, the daughter and wife of the other victims, was injured. More than 37,000 people signed the petition as of Wednesday evening. Ando went point-by-point explaining why the High Court upheld the lower court. Alkonis was negligent in falling asleep and failing to stop the car when he felt drowsy, Ando said.

Plain Talk: Burgum administration is planning a big proposal for ... (INFORUM)

It will be "something different from what you usually see from our administration," Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford said on this issue of Plain Talk.

He thinks a more persuasive approach will be to talk about the need for child care policy in the context of the economy. In fact, he says, it only works to the extent it is now because of low-wage workers. Who still has minimum wage workers?" Part of the problem is politics. "They'll say 'we don't want to back the school bus up to the maternity ward'," Sanford says. MINOT, N.D. — Gov. Doug Burgum's administration is on the path to proposing some very significant policy to address North Dakota's child care process in the upcoming legislative session.

Lt. Gov. Gregg talks education during IVH externship visit (Marshalltown Times Republican)

In addition to the Future Ready Iowa program and work-based learning, Gregg also said he and Reynolds are working on getting more students to enter the teaching career with the Teacher and Paraeducator Apprenticeship Program, which allows high school students to seek their paraeducator certificate while still in high school. “I think a great way to open students’ eyes to the jobs that are available right in the backyard is to get them there during their schooling. “So the more we can expose them to those types of opportunities, I think it’s more likely that they’ll stick around and come back after they get their education or training.” And how can we not only connect with the jobs that are available today and make their classroom lessons relevant to that, but how can we prepare them for that economy they’re going to be operating in 20 years from now?” Gregg said. “As I think about our education system and think about our challenges, we need to be preparing kids for opportunities that it’s hard for us to even fathom right now,” Gregg said. Gregg said he and legislators think about these issues all the time.
