Local leaders and business owners are now weighing concerns over rising water and sewer costs, aging infrastructure, and what village dissolution would really mean before any future vote.
   

• Student taken into custody after bringing loaded, realistic-looking BB gun into Lake Orion High School (clickondetroit.com) — A 17-year-old student was taken into custody after a school resource officer recovered a loaded, realistic-looking BB gun from a backpack at Lake Orion High School, prompting a criminal review by the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.
