New information!🚨🚨🚨😳😳🤯

🚨Long read, but worth your time!🚨

So we’re just not gonna talk about how Lauren Thompson just up and retired from WLNS-TV with no explanation after 20 years on the job?

Or how WILX Fred Heumann just switched to WILX News 10 from WLNS after what they claimed to be a brief hiatus, but eventually we found out he was Fired! His Co-Anchor Alex Sims left the same time, and I spoke to her afterwards personally and she shed a little bit of light on the toxic environment, but didn’t want to get to deep into it.

I’m thinking WLNS is the issue here! Remember when Alexandra Ilitch and Bonnie Bowman both left abruptly at the same time and Alexandria made a public statement speaking on the conditions at WLNS as her reason for leaving?

We found Atleast one Sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Cheryl Fritze -Former Editor accusing Former Anchor Evan Pinsonnault and Current News Director Jam Sardar of Sexually Harrasing Interns.

Merica might need to do some digging into this, what y’all think? More to come!

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. owns WLNS

This some real “Young and the Restless” stuff going on down there!

Our studio has so much character, we wanted to share some of it with you all!

To the Lansing Community,

We are pleased to provide you with this second community update on the NOVA Lansing Housing Initiative.

Please note the meeting change

First, due a lack of quorum at the Dec. 18 meeting, we are postponing the discussion of the Nova Initiative location for that date. We plan to reconvene the joint boards in January 2026 to continue the conversation.

Please know that we have heard the community loud and clear: many want to help people experiencing homelessness access housing, but there are concerns about placing pods in parks or neighborhoods. Public input was accepted, including hours of comments from residents, seven open community meetings, online submissions, City Council meetings, email, and social media. Most Lansing residents favor stabilization and housing for those in need, with thoughtful site choices. For reference, please review our 21-page compiled community response document: https://www.lansingmi.gov/1364/NOVA-Lansing-Housing-Initiative

Good News

Earlier, we also noted potential options beyond the original top five potential sites. Option 6 was waiting on approval and vetting at a site with Ingham County. It is now a publicly reviewable option. Ingham County has agreed to partner with us and allow us to consider part of the southeast parking lot at the Human Services Building (Jolly & Cedar) for the Nova Lansing Housing Initiative. This site is not in a neighborhood or park, has lower costs (no land purchase), and is close to critical services (County Health Department, immunizations, mental health, veterans, senior services). It is on a bus line and near job resources (Capital Area Michigan Works!) and health centers, improving access for users. We appreciate the collaboration from Ingham County Commissioners and staff and recognize this is a new solution crafted in response to community feedback.

Moving forward

In response to requests for more time and the HRCS Board’s lack of quorum, we’ve updated the options on the website. We are asking the advisory boards to review them over the coming weeks, and we’ll reconvene in January to discuss recommendations. We’ve added the county property option mentioned above, along with other community suggestions. Please take the time to review all options during this period. We also have heard significant community input against using city parks as a potential location, from residents and members of these boards alike. Parks and neighborhood locations raise concerns about recreation spaces and youth access. Therefore, we fully support the removal of parks if the boards move in that direction.

When reconvening in the new year, the boards will vote on a recommendation or recommendations to the Mayor. The Mayor’s choice will then move to the Lansing City Council for consideration through a rezoning request, then the city will move forward to create the housing initiative to assist our unhoused neighbors.

In closing, we want to thank you. We appreciate your continued input as we assess the best path forward for our community.

Sincerely,

Mayor Andy Schor
Director Kimberly A. Coleman, HRCS Department
