via CM-Life
Jon Joslin has spent a lot of time in previous years decorating downtown Mount Pleasant in preparation for Mardi Gras, but this year Joslin took on a larger role. Joslin, chair of the Mardi Gras committee, is in charge of the entire set up for Mardi Gras this year, taking place Friday. “Mardi Gras is basically an opportunity for the community of Mount Pleasant to welcome Central Michigan students to the downtown community. There’s a wide variety of activities going on,” Joslin said. “The big event will be at 6 p.m. which is the parade with the Central Michigan University marching band. Once the parade is done, the CMU marching band comes back around for a performance for the community at the Town Center, along with the cheerleaders.”

via CM-Life
On Oct.16 the Michigan State Police post in Reed City will consolidate with the MSP post in Mount Pleasant as a result of budget cuts. There has been a $17.7 million reduction in the state police budget for the 2012 fiscal year. By combining the posts it will help cut the budget without having to lay-off a single trooper, said Lt. Christopher Stolicker, commander of the Mount Pleasant post. “With these changes there will still be enough troopers on the road,” Stolicker said. “We will now be responsible for four counties; Isabella, Clare, Osceola and Mecosta.”
