Highfields getting much needed upgrades on main campus
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – Highfields, a nonprofit human services organization serving mid-Michigan families is currently seeing much-needed work done, in the form of renovations to three pieces of its main campus in Onondaga. Highfields applied for and received a $465,000 infrastructure grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. That, plus $80,000 from the Dart Foundation is now paying for a new gym ceiling, upgrades to the water and well system, and renovation of the Jean Schultz center, which according to Highfields residential director Tyler Jones, is an important place for a child's progress. 'It provides a good place for the kids to get therapy, and speak with their probation officer, and their families,' says Jones. 'It'll also provide staff an opportunity to enjoy their work environment because we had bad wallpaper and outdated carpet, so it's really going to lift up the spirits of everyone.' Completion of all the projects should happen within the next few weeks. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

2025 NFL Scouting Combine: Kansas City Chiefs held 'formal meeting' with Miami TE
2025 NFL Scouting Combine: Kansas City Chiefs held 'formal meeting' with Miami TE According to Tyler Jones of Chat Sports, the Kansas City Chiefs had a "formal meeting" with Miami Hurricanes tight end Elijah Arroyo this week at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kansas City has decent depth at tight end following the return announcement from Travis Kelce and the extension to Noah Gray. Last season's rookie Jared Wiley is rehabbing from an ACL injury suffered in practice, which also factors into plans. Arroyo was a crucial part of the Hurricanes' offense in 2024. He finished with 35 catches for 590 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 16.9 yards a reception. He earned second-team All-ACC honors and started all 13 games. Injuries have been an unfortunate part of Arroyo's college career. A knee injury cost him nearly two seasons, and at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, he is a great red-zone target when available. He would fit a quarterback like Mahomes because of his ability to make adjustments down the field for scrambling quarterbacks.

What does new NJ ballot signature law mean for local candidates?
A new state law has changed the number of signatures needed to run for state, county and local office, making it a bit more challenging to get on the ballot. The law will increase the number of signatures needed for those running for a statewide office, such as the governor's seat, from 1,000 to 2,500 registered voters. The law went into effect on Feb. 3 and is retroactive to Jan. 1. It will affect the March 24 deadline to file for the June 10 primary election. Gov. Phil Murphy signed A-5117/S-3994, which changes required registered voter signatures to get on the ballot for state, county, municipal and school board elections. Story continues below photo gallery. The law increases ballot signatures required by 150% for most offices. Assembly candidates will need 250 signatures instead of the previous 100. The governor's seat and all state Assembly seats will be on the ballot this year. Candidates for county seats will need between 150 and 300 signatures, or 1% of the total votes cast in the last General Assembly primary election. 'New Jersey's petition signature requirements are significantly outdated and lower than compared to states such as New York, California and Colorado," said Tyler Jones, a spokesperson for Murphy's office. "This legislation helps modernize New Jersey's petition signature requirements in a manner that was supported by ample testimony and studies presented to the Assembly Select Committee on Ballot Design last year.' Republicans questioned the measure, saying it would lower ballot access, accusing Democrats of setting up barriers for people wishing to run for office. In Bergen County, for example, Democrats will need at least 298 signatures and Republicans at least 174. "As long as the information is out there, I think the change is good and guarantees serious candidates that will go out there and meet people," Bergen County Clerk John Hogan said. "If you make the signatures too low, people just throw their names out and it clouds the ballots. This guarantees serious candidates who really want to run." The Bergen County clerk's website has an updated list of how many signatures are needed for every town following the population formula. Based on the population formula, Bergenfield, Cliffside Park, Fair Lawn and Paramus will need 75 signatures to run for local office. In Englewood, the general office signature requirement is 75, but ward-specific seats have different signature requirements. Other towns, such as Dumont, East Rutherford, Edgewater and Maywood will need 50 signatures. For towns with a smaller population, the formula drops and is calculated by population and registered voters. Democrats in Leonia will need 22 signatures to run, but a Republican candidate will need only three. In Upper Saddle River, a Democrat requires three signatures, while a Republican candidate needs 27. The number of signatures needed will change again next year based on the 2025 voter numbers, Hogan said. "I don't think it's going to upset the whole election process at all. I think it will make it better," he said. The new law will require school board candidates to get 25 signatures, up from the previous 10. Others didn't support the changes as much as Hogan did. Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia, a Sussex County Republican, said it creates a disadvantage for challengers who already started collecting signatures. 'While candidates across New Jersey are already circulating petitions for the upcoming primary election, this body is moving the goalposts midgame, making it harder for people to run for office,' Fantasia said. 'This is about protecting incumbents and keeping challengers off the ballot.' This article originally appeared on What does new NJ ballot signature law mean for local candidates?
