Former Gov. Rick Snyder named Harvard fellow
LANSING, Mich. — A former Michigan governor who's been criticized for his administration's role in the Flint water crisis is headed to Harvard University to teach and study subjects related to state and local government.
Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government announced Friday that Rick Snyder begins work as a senior research fellow Monday. His fellowship is with the school's Taubman Center for State and Local Government. Center Director Jeffrey Liebman says in a statement the two-term Republican governor brings "expertise in management, public policy and promoting civility." Snyder says he looks forward to sharing his experiences. He's previously said he's most proud of Detroit's turnaround and keeping young people in Michigan. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/06/30/former-governor-rick-snyder-harvard-university-fellow/1611867001/

She worried her son with autism would bother his seatmate on the plane. Instead, they became friends
(CNN)When her 7-year-old son had to fly solo to visit his dad, Alexa Bjornson was a little worried. Bjornson's son, Landon, has autism, and traveling can be difficult for him. Because the mom didn't know how Landon would fare on his own, she gave her son a note to present to the passenger next to him. The message explained that Ben has high-functioning autism and might frequently ask "Are we there yet?" She also included $10 for the person for helping her son feel safe and comfortable. "I thought, how do I make it so whoever's sitting next to him won't look at him as a burden but more of like, I can help this kiddo get through the day," Bjornson told CNN affiliate KATU. Ben Pedraza ended up sitting next to Landon, but he didn't need any cash incentive to enjoy a great flight with Landon. They were heading from Las Vegas to Oregon on Thursday. https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/30/us/plane-passenger-autism-trnd/index.html?utm_term=image&utm_source=twCNN&utm_content=2019-06-30T19%3A30%3A01&utm_medium=social |
