📰 News we're reading
• Green Oak roundabouts rank as most-dangerous intersection in county (thelivingstonpost.com) — If you regularly drive Grand River, Challis, or Whitmore Lake roads in Brighton, new crash data shows several of those intersections rank among the most dangerous in Livingston County. Using 2025 Michigan State Police reports, Michigan Auto Law highlights where crashes and injuries are most frequent, helping Brighton-area drivers better understand and possibly avoid the riskiest roundabouts and crossings. 
• What's Going Around in Metro Detroit: Seasonal allergies, colds, influenza, scooter, e-bike injuries (clickondetroit.com) — Doctors serving Livingston County, including the Brighton Medical Center, report a recent rise in bee and yellowjacket stings, sinus infections, early flu cases, and injuries from e-bikes, mopeds, and bicycles. Brighton-area residents are urged to stay cautious outdoors, keep up with flu shots, and practice basic prevention like handwashing and safe riding to avoid emergency room visits this fall.
• Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance (michiganadvance.com) — Brighton figures into Michigan's U.S. Senate race as reporters confirm candidate Mike Rogers once worked at the former Cars & Concepts facility there, rather than on a Big Three assembly line as he often claims. The detailed investigation, driven by UAW criticism, dissects his statements about building Chrysler convertibles and contrasts them with how the Brighton shop actually modified already-built vehicles.
