Judge suspends Michigan's dormant 1931 abortion ban

DETROIT — (AP) — A judge on Tuesday suspended Michigan's dormant ban on abortion, saying it likely violates the state constitution. The law, which makes it a crime to assist in an abortion, has been on the books since 1931. But it has had no practical effect since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973. The Supreme Court, however, could overturn that decision by summer, leaving abortion issues for each state to decide. Whitmer, who supports abortion rights, has asked the Michigan Supreme Court to bypass lower courts and declare the 91-year-old law unconstitutional.

Central Florida milk bank sees surge in calls due to baby formula shortage

Baby formula shortage Some parents across Central Florida are struggling to find a way to feed their babies. The U.S. baby formula supply has been lacking since the Abbot Nutrition plant shut down and a recall was issued in February, which led to shortages across local stores and online.

Abbott says agreement reached to reopen baby formula plant

Abbott did not immediately detail the terms of the agreement reached with the Food and Drug Administration, which has been investigating safety problems at the Sturgis, Michigan, facility. After production resumes, Abbott has said it will take at least eight weeks to begin shipping new product to stores. Abbott’s plant came under scrutiny earlier this year after four infants became sick with bacterial infections after consuming powdered formula from the Michigan factory. Abbott’s voluntary recall was triggered by four illnesses reported in babies who had consumed powdered formula from the Michigan plant. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro reported last month that a whistleblower had contacted the FDA in October about unsafe conditions and practices at the plant, including falsifying plant records and failing to properly test formula for contamination.

Abbott reaches agreement with FDA to reopen baby formula plant to ease nationwide shortage

A woman shops for baby formula at Target in Annapolis, Maryland, on May 16, 2022, as a nationwide shortage of baby formula continues due to supply chain crunches tied to the coronavirus pandemic that have already strained the countrys formula stock, an issue that was further exacerbated by a major product recall in February. Abbott has reached an agreement with the Food and Drug Administration to reopen its manufacturing plant in Michigan to help ease a nationwide shortage of baby formula, the company announced on Monday. Abbott said it can restart the Michigan plant within two weeks subject to FDA approval. Mothers are struggling to find formula for their infants amid a nationwide shortage that has left shelves empty in many stores. In February, Abbott issued a voluntary recall of its Similac PM 60/40, Similac, Alimentum and EleCare products made at the Michigan plant.

White House says deal near to reopen formula plant

Over the weekend, the White House offered formula manufacturers and retailers transportation and logistics support, and working with all major formula producers to boost production, including reaching out to their suppliers to encourage them to prioritize production and delivery of formula ingredients. Abbott’s voluntary recall was triggered by four illnesses reported in babies who had consumed powdered formula from the Michigan plant. Former FDA officials say fixing the type of problems uncovered at Abbott’s plant takes time, and infant formula facilities receive more scrutiny than other food facilities. Even if the facility reopens soon, the FDA will still face scrutiny for its handling of the issues at the plant. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro reported last month that a whistleblower had contacted the FDA in October about unsafe conditions and practices at the plant, including falsifying plant records and failing to properly test formula for contamination.

Judge says Trump contempt ruling can be lifted if he pays $110K fine, provides other info

President Donald Trump looks on during a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan. A New York judge said Wednesday that he would lift a contempt of court finding by next week against former President Donald Trump if Trump's legal team provides more information about a search for documents sought by the state Attorney General and pays a $110,000 fine. If those conditions are not met by May 20, Judge Arthur Engoron said he would reinstate a $10,000 per-day fine against Trump for being in contempt for having failed to comply with a subpoena issued by Attorney General Letitia James. Trump and his lawyers have said they cannot locate documents sought by James as part of her civil investigation of the Trump Organization and its valuation of several real estate assets. Engoron previously has said he was not satisfied with the explanations that Trump and the lawyers have given detailing their search for those documents.

AP analysis finds growing number of poor, high-hazard dams

An Associated Press analysis tallied more than 2,200 high-hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition across the U.S. — up substantially from a similar AP review conducted three years ago. “The number of deficient, high-hazard dams is increasing,” he said, adding that without investment in upgrades, that number will continue to rise. The number of high-hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition has risen partly because of stricter regulation. New York has about twice the number of high-hazard dams in poor condition as it did in 2018, when the AP collected data for its earlier analysis. A pair of high-hazard dams built in the mid-1800s near Cleveland are among those in need of major repair.
