DTE outage map reporting 10k out in Ann Arbor area, 15k out in the Detroit area. Lansing predictably has 0 outages.
We can’t keep living like this, we need electricity in the winter.

DTE spends nearly the same amount for marketing as they do for equipment upgrades. As a for-profit monopoly with poor oversight from the governor and the MPSC, it’s no wonder they care more about their shareholders and executive pay than they do customers.

Conspiracy theory: the new @DTE_Energy outage map is designed to make it harder to take a screen shot showing the extent of current outages.
Compare the current map, with this archival map from Nov. 24, 2014.
ALT The current DTE outage map. Outages are now shown as icons on the map rather than polygons showing the extent of the outage.
ALT DTE outage map from Nov. 24, 2014. Large polygons showing the extent of individual outages are clearly visible.

.@DTE_Energy wants to increase the rates of over 2 million Michigan residents by 8.8%.
This is the time for us to make our voices heard. While DTE is busy paying out their shareholders, our communities are suffering.

Thank you to State Rep. Yousef Rabhi for reading to Pittsfield Penguins today. The best part was when my 3rd grader, Yousef, met his state representative with the same name as his! What an unforgettable moment for Yousef! 😊 📚 #marchisreadingmonth

Folks, I’ve said it a hundred times, and I’ll say it again...
WASH 👏 YOUR 👏 HANDS 👏
Frequently. With soap. For at least 20 seconds. Lather, scrub, rinse, dry. Pass it on.

Back in February, Senator @JeffMIrwin & @RepRabhi introduced legislation to make polluters pay for the messes they leave behind. So, what's the hold up? If corporations create messes, they should be responsible for cleaning them up. #mileg michigandaily.com/section/go…

I co-sponsored @RepRabhi's "polluter pay" bill, HB 4212 to mandate corporations who pollute our communities pay the cost to clean up their messes. This is so important to ensuring our communities are safe from harmful toxins, and that we're putting our people first.

Michigan Auto Law’s Steven Gursten on deal: “The rate reductions are not going to make an appreciable difference to lower premiums for people who currently cannot afford auto insurance. No stakeholder gets what they wanted, but the consumer failed to get what they needed most"

House Speaker Lee Chatfield, yesterday after Senate vote: “We’re going to continue with our deliberative process” through House Committee set up to focus on auto no-fault reforms. Today, it appears the House could vote without a committee hearing on the actual policy #MILEG

Success! The House Judiciary Committee just passed the #RaiseTheAge bills. Under current law, 17-year-olds are automatically prosecuted as adults. Michigan is one of 4 states that does this. These bills change the age to 18. On to the House floor!
