It’s not quite like Scrooge McDuck diving into a mountain of gold coins, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, House Speaker Jason Wentworth and Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey have a bunch of new money to play with.
Let’s estimate the state’s annual General Fund is about $11 billion. Cut that in half and that’s what President Joe Biden is sending our way in COVID-19 relief money with few strings attached.
Coincidentally, for the first time in a year, the governor last week had her first face-to-face meeting with just her and Michigan’s Republican legislative leaders in the room.

Beware of scam asking you for money to prove you're owner of your home
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — You might have seen it in the mail. An official looking letter asking you for money to certify that you are the actual owner of your home. Don't follow the instructions on the letter. It's a scam.

It was a letter from Records Recovery Services asking her to send $87 for a copy of her deed, validating that her home was actually owned by her. Shapiro was immediately suspicious.
How to Tell Your Philanthropy Money Story - Worth
In March, the Women's Philanthropy Institute (WPI) released a report analyzing the first new data on household charitable decision making in 15 years. Many interesting trends were revealed by the report, and I was particularly surprised to see that 61.5 percent of couples make giving decisions together—a number that has actually declined since 2005.
The report from WPI got me thinking about how philanthropy fits into a different aspect of the idiom "money talks"—defined by Merriam Webster as "money has a strong influence on people's actions and behaviors." If this is true, then families should be harnessing our philanthropic resources as effectively as possible to solve the world's greatest social challenges.

Money Isn't Pouring Into U.S. Stocks. What It Means for the Market. | Barron's
Many investors are already fully invested in the U.S. stock market—a negative signal for share prices.
Money hasn't exactly been flowing aggressively into stocks recently and that trend is unlikely to reverse itself any time soon. It may seem counterintuitive, given that t he market has run up considerably this year , but fund managers just aren't receiving huge amounts of capital to deploy.
The net flow of money into U.S. mutual and exchange-traded equity funds has been roughly $100 billion so far in 2021, according to Citigroup data. That isn't weak, but the tide of money going into equity funds that focus on assets outside of the U.S. has been more than twice as large.
