A March 1 article on local candidates for state legislative races incorrectly stated that candidates file their petitions to be on the ballot with the Secretary of State. For state House Districts 52, 53 and 54 and Senate District 18, those filings are made at the Washtenaw County clerk’s office. Campaign finance reports for all state races are made with the Secretary of State. We note the error here, and have corrected it in the original article.

Any news on whether State between Huron and Washington will be two-way again any time soon?
I don’t know. The crane at that corner is completely down now; if the contractor planned it out, they could reconstruct the curbs & sidewalk on the east side and open State up by the end of the month. Same for Huron, since the building exterior is done there as well.
