New state law allows alcohol to be sold at public university sports venues in Michigan
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A new state law allows alcoholic drinks to be sold at college sporting events in Michigan.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation Tuesday allowing liquor licenses to be issued to sporting venues at public universities, including Michigan State in East Lansing and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
"Authorizing the legal sale of alcohol at sporting events will bring us on equal footing with other universities, help reduce the likelihood of binge drinking before games, and bring in a heck of a lot more revenue that we can use to improve the student experience," Whitmer said in a statement.
Whitmer also signed legislation making liquor-to-go permanent, which is expected to generate revenue for restaurants and small businesses.
‘Online & Social Media Investigations’ focus of webinar August 3
The State Appellate Defender Office and the Criminal Defense Resource Center along with the West Michigan Regional Investigators Association will present a webinar on “Online & Social Media Investigations” Thursday, August 3, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Social networking has a profound impact on the way the world connects and interacts. Social media sites and online platforms define our everyday lives. Social networking is how people connect, express ideas, make purchases, find jobs, and share their lives with the world. These digital footprints are a goldmine for investigators.
Webinar attendees will explore open source and social media intelligence collection techniques for a few popular apps and online platforms. Attendees will also learn how to locate profiles online, unveil evidence, gather intelligence from accounts, and learn more about subjects using free online techniques.
Speaking at the webinar will be Edward Ajaeb, the founder and president of Nighthawk Strategies, a professional investigation firm in Washington, D.C.
