📰 News we're reading
• Prison time for misuse? New bills target Flock cameras in Michigan (audacy.com) — Clawson is among several Michigan communities that have stopped using Flock license-plate cameras, as state lawmakers push new rules limiting how the technology's data can be used and stored. The bills would cap retention at 30 days and create criminal penalties for misuse, including possible prison time for repeat offenders. Residents can expect ongoing debate over balancing safety and privacy in local policing tools. 
• Brooklyn gets $4K grant toward new gazebo (mlive.com) — Clawson is one of several Michigan communities awarded AARP Age-Friendly grant funding, alongside a larger award helping Brooklyn replace its aging, inaccessible Town Square gazebo. While the exact Clawson project isn't detailed, the program supports improvements that make public spaces safer and more accessible for older adults and people with disabilities. Local residents can watch for upcoming age-friendly upgrades funded through this initiative.
