State budget cuts By SARA L. BILLS Ypsilanti Township will need to make ends meet with less money than originally anticipated for the coming year. There will be a shortfall in the township’s state revenue sharing to the tune of 3.5 percent for fiscal year 2003. The Ypsilanti Township Board of Trustees at its regular
meeting Tuesday night approved proposed budget amendments for fiscal year
2003 to compensate for the difference in revenue sharing money.
Willow Run High By DAVE MELCHIOR Willow Run High School and school district officials are investigating an incident in which a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl engaged in a sexual act in a hallway of the high school. Willow Run Superintendent John Hansen said Monday the incident occurred during the school day Friday. He said because of the nature of the situation and the
two students involved officials could not discuss details because that
information could reveal the identity of the girl involved.
