Good morning, Southfield. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 26th of August.

ECONOMY NEWS

  • Metro Detroit parents began buying back-to-school items early this summer because they worry that tariffs will push up prices on uniforms and school supplies—many shoppers are comparing deals and using layaway plans to stretch their budgets. A survey shows that value-seeking behavior has grown as families plan for the school year.  Hometown Life
  • Gas prices in Michigan rose by 18 cents per gallon over the past week to an average of $3.30 for regular unleaded gas, making a 15-gallon fill cost about $49, AAA-The Auto Club reported (a rate 1 cent higher than last month and 19 cents lower than last year). Metro Detroit prices increased by 12 cents from last week, and local Southfield drivers may soon face these higher costs (AAA spokesperson Adrienne Woodland noted that limited demand changes play a role).  CBS News Detroit

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Metro Detroit school districts face a bus driver shortage and are offering bonuses, higher wages, and free training—tools expected to attract new drivers—and help keep students safe on the road today.  WXYZ

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Michigan Department of Transportation said more than 100 bridges risk closing by 2035 if state funding is not passed—this could affect 1.8 million drivers daily, with the I-96 Southfield interchange among the vulnerable areas, and officials warn nearly half of state routes will be in poor condition without more investment.  WXYZ
