Detroit has some of the worst air quality in the nation, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Lung Association. The organization’s “State of the Air” report gives the region an "F" grade in ground level ozone pollution, a "D" in particle pollution, and a failing grade overall in pollution levels above federal standards. 

Plus, Detroit City Council member Gabriella-Santiago Romero has been disqualified from having her name on the city’s August primary election ballot.
