TV5 gets inside look at Bay City Hall renovations
via WNEM.com
WNEM TV5 cameras got to go inside the Bay City City Hall on Wednesday for a sneak peek as the renovations continue after fire and water damaged the building one year ago. It was a day Dana Muscott will never forget. "The panic just kind of overtook me," she said. The City Clerk talks about what she saw, as a fire damaged city hall one year ago. "Some days it just doesn't hit home that city hall had a fire and that our employees are not there." No one was hurt in the blaze but the building sustained heavy smoke and water damage, a year later it's still closed. City employees are still using this temporary building. And the new roof that was under construction during the fire is now complete.

Sexual assault victim denounces Bay County hairstylist at sentencing hearing
via MLive.com
Despite weeping heavily, a woman remained resolute in telling a Bay County hairstylist how the sexual assault she suffered at his hands shattered her life. “I felt like a piece of crumpled white trash left on a street corner,” said the woman this morning just before Khiem N. Tran learned he will spend up to the next 15 years in prison. The woman was 21 when she visited Stylistics By Night in Monitor Township on Aug. 8, 2010, and was molested by Tran as he washed and cut her hair. The woman had not met Tran, 49, before visiting his salon. “At age 21, I was a sister, a daughter, a lover, a friend, a coworker and a boss,” the woman continued. “I am no longer the person I once was. I survived and I’m alive, but I feel empty.”

$51 million water plant could come to Bay County
via WNEM.com
A $51 million water plant could come to Bay County. Right now, the county relies on Bay City for its water, but that contract will end in 2015 and officials are looking for a new source. The latest plan involves a focus on a membrane filtration plant that would be owned and used by both the city and customers living in Bay County. It would treat water purchased from the Saginaw-Midland Municipal Water Supply Corporation. That water comes from Au Gres.

Woodside Avenue from Washington Avenue to Walnut Street, crossing the Liberty Bridge, will have lane closures starting today.

Bay City man sent to prison for attacking roommate with knife
via MLive.com
A Bay City man who reportedly feared jail so much that he considered suicide as a means of avoiding it will be spending up to the next few years behind bars. Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran on Monday sentenced Alexander N. Nagy, 23, to 23 to 48 months in prison, with credit for 102 days served. Nagy in August pleaded no contest to assault with a dangerous weapon, which is punishable by up to four years’ imprisonment. On June 23, Nagy entered a marijuana grow room in the Bay City house he lived at with his father and Jonathan Lago, a licensed medical marijuana grower and caregiver. After being removed from the grow room by Lago and the elder Nagy, Nagy grew increasingly unruly, claiming he was going to steal the marijuana and sell it.
