A city investigation in Port Huron clears City Manager James Freed of claims he accessed Mayor Anita Ashford’s emails, with council members voting 7-0 to release the findings publicly. Independent attorneys reviewed records, interviewed staff and examined examples provided by Ashford, but found no proof Freed accessed or controlled her city or personal accounts. The report also found no support for claims others helped him. While Freed welcomed the results, Ashford says she plans to pursue further legal action, keeping the dispute ongoing.

A Port Huron man is now awaiting sentencing after admitting to multiple child exploitation charges. Twenty-year-old Edison Tran pleaded guilty to five counts tied to possessing explicit images of minors and using social media to pressure teenage girls into sending nude photos. Investigators say the case began last fall after a tip from another police department led to a search of his home and phone, where several illegal images were found. Tran faces up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing set for late August.

Voters across St. Clair County townships will decide August fourth on several tax proposals aimed at keeping police and fire services running. Communities like Brockway, Emmett, and Kenockee are asking to renew or slightly increase millages to maintain equipment, upgrade fire halls, and replace aging trucks. Fort Gratiot and Grant townships are also seeking long-term funding for costly emergency gear. Meanwhile, Ira Township is proposing a new tax to strengthen police coverage after a similar plan failed last year. Officials say the funding is critical to maintaining reliable emergency response.
