Tax relief helps Michigan bus lines and state office plan

Tax relief waivers for bus companies with high expense ratios may save private operators from municipal takeover, while the state plans an $8 million West Capitol building funded by a new revenue bond. Legislators schedule summer tax hearings to review the system, and a July governance study aims to map revenue sources and equity. A separate push pursues natural gas expansion to heat upstate homes, with Panhandle Eastern proposing outstate transfers and UP access amid disputes with Michigan Consolidated Gas. The era ends with a quip about a road union encounter.

Civil Liability Act and car loan risk cited by columnist

The piece explains that under the Civil Liability Act the owner of a motor vehicle may be liable for a driver's negligence with the owner's consent or implied knowledge. Courts say owners should vet drivers and can be liable even if unaware of the specific driver. It recalls a case where an owner loaned a car to a company and was held liable for an employee's collision. It ends with a jab about borrowing the author behind the wheel and a note about Commissioner Ford Frick naming the Sentinel an All Star Game newspaper in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
