Some Berkley residents are calling for a city councilman to resign after he voted against a Pride Block Party.

Dennis Hennen cited religion as his reason for voting no for the event. 

"It's my deeply held religious conviction that homosexuality is wrong, and to be clear, this is not some sort of homophobia. For example, I feel equally about all kinds of sin," he said. "There are many things that come before council that I personally find objectionable, and I can accept those when the source is private, but I must draw the line at a city-run event that requires my personal endorsement."

Berkley City Councilman Dennis Hennen voted against holding a pride event downtown, stating that according to his religious convictions, homosexuality is wrong.

The rest of the council voted yes and some explained why.

Hennen later posted an apology video to his Facebook page.

"I am truly sorry, I realize I have a lot to learn and I know some may doubt the sincerity of this apology, but I offer it to make amends and humbly ask for forgiveness for the hurt that I caused," he said.

Residents filled a council meeting Monday to express their thoughts and ask for him to resign.

A Romulus man is accused of hiding 110 grams of fentanyl in a box of cat litter and shipping it through the mail.

The investigation started on Aug. 19, 2021 when a USPS investigator pulled a large flat rate box with priority labeling that was being sent to a Jacob Dupree in Romulus and came from a Shannon Burkhead in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The package was mailed on Aug. 18 and weight about 5 pounds. It cost almost $73 in postage and fees for the priority package to be shipped. According to the federal investigation, there is no Shannon Burkhead at the Arizona address, nor is there a Jacob Dupree at the Romulus address.

A K-9 was used to sniff the package and detected something illegal was inside. A search warrant was obtained and officials said they found kitty litter and a plastic wrapped bag of blue pills, later determined to be fentanyl.

The phone number used to track the package and contact USPS was connected to Dazzman Dupree. 

Two months, a shooting and car crash in Garden City led police to Dazzman Dupreee.

President Joe Biden called on Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months — an election-year move meant to ease financial pressures at the pump that was greeted with doubts by many lawmakers.

The Democratic president also called on states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide similar relief, and he delivered a public critique of the energy industry for prioritizing profits over production. It would take action by lawmakers in Washington and in statehouses across the country to actually bring relief to consumers.

"It doesn’t reduce all the pain but it will be a big help," Biden said, using the bully pulpit when his administration believes it has run out of direct levers to address soaring gas prices. "I’m doing my part. I want Congress, states and industry to do their part as well."
