Ypsi: State Police

The Detroit News reports that the Michigan State Police’s Ypsilanti post will lose five troopers, making it among the hardest hit in a statewide reduction of 100 troopers announced Friday. “The layoffs were sparked by an executive order issued by Granholm and approved by state lawmakers Tuesday cutting $304 million from this year’s budget. State Police officials are expected to soon announce plans to curtail the number of miles troopers can drive during their shift to save on gasoline.” [Source]
