The Violent Crime Rate In Michigan May Surprise You
Crime rates have been on the rise since the 1980s or 1990s and haven't slowed down in most states but this is for a multitude of reasons. Nonetheless, the surprising thing about these crime rates is that they are in very concentrated areas as the suburban neighborhoods continue to have lower crime rates. Either way, many residents think Michigan is a safer state than most and that may not be true.
Some Michigan cities haven’t been scorching hot this year, 90-degree days show it
If we look at the number of hot days this summer, some Michigan cities haven’t had many hot days. A few cities are near normal on 90-degree days. Here’s a quick tally.

Proposed DTE rate hike could cover the cost of private jet use, Michigan AG Nessel says
(CBS DETROIT) - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is once again pushing back against a proposed DTE Energy rate hike. Nessel accuses the energy company of spending lavishly on corporate jets for their CEOs and attempting to pass that cost onto customers. DTE is asking for another rate hike just months after a previous hike that amounted to a $368 million increase. In testimony to the Michigan Public Service Commission, Nessel reported that DTE officials inflated the costs associated with running the utility by spending money on corporate jet travel. An additional rate hike would mean a 10% increase in consumers' bills. It's a move Nessel...
