See how your donation dollars can help affect change
We’re not as interested in breaking news as we are in helping our readers better understand what is happening in their community, both good and bad, with detailed and tactful reporting. Here a few recent examples of the stories we’ve done, and would like to do more often, with your support.
Good evening,
If you didn’t catch the announcement yesterday, our summer member drive has begun, and that means we’re asking for a donation of any amount to help support our work.
Watershed Voice is not your traditional hometown newspaper. We’re an online nonprofit magazine that publishes five days a week, and unlike most print media, advertisers don’t pay for the bulk of what we do, our readers do. We’re also not as interested in breaking news as we are in helping our readers better understand what is happening in their community, both good and bad, with detailed and tactful reporting. Here a few recent examples of the stories we’ve done, and would like to do more often, with your support:
- In February, we looked into why so many Three Rivers residents were seeing discolored water running out of their taps.
- In May, we reported how one clinic is making mental health services more accessible for Three Rivers students. By removing accessibility and financial barriers between students and mental health services, the PAWS (Prevention and Wellness Service) clinic is saving lives and dollars for those most at-risk.
- In June, we detailed how Linda Shank, now 26, was sexually groomed and abused from the age of 15 by a church youth leader for the better part of a year, and how despite repeatedly seeking help from church leadership and law enforcement, little was done for her.
Help ensure Watershed Voice has the resources to continue producing these types of stories by making a donation today. We accept donations via CashApp ($WatershedVoice), Venmo (@WatershedVoice), or on our website.
My best,

TRPD confirms continued use of Flock surveillance technology, says city added seventh camera in 2025
In an exclusive interview with Watershed Voice, Three Rivers Chief of Police Scott Boling and Detective Sgt. Steven Dibble said the cameras provide an additional investigative tool to help identify vehicles connected to crimes.
Flock Safety’s license plate reader system has drawn national criticism from civil liberties groups, particularly the American Civil Liberties Union, which argues the technology enables a form of mass surveillance that extends beyond its original purpose.
Boling said there is no “backdoor access” to the system, including for federal agencies such as ICE, and that any data sharing must be approved by the department.

Michigan lawmaker explores changes to public notice rules, raising transparency concerns
Municipalities pay newspapers to publish these notices, with costs varying based on the number and length of postings.
According to recent Three Rivers City Commission agenda packets, the city paid $740 to the Three Rivers Commercial-News for fiscal year 2026 public notices. A separate payment of $290 for the same category was recorded February 13.
If lawmakers pursue changes, they could alter where and how notices are published, potentially shifting some requirements away from newspapers. However, state Rep. Sarah Lightner (R-Springport) has said she is not seeking to eliminate public notice requirements altogether.
