DTE has told its investors this project could be rammed through during the December 18 meeting of the MPSC.

Be there and voice your opposition before itโ€™s too late:

DTE claims it is being transparent about its contract for the proposed data center in Saline, but anyone who has seen their extensive redactions would likely disagree.๏ฟผ

Michigan AGโ€™s Office Requests Public Hearings on DTEโ€™s Proposed Data Center Service Contracts - The Sun Times News DTE needs new, $300 million substation to support the data center proposed for Saline Township On November 6, 2025 the office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a โ€œnotice of interventionโ€ ...

In the contract for the Saline Township data center, DTE says theyโ€™ll recoup costs through rate increases on customers later. Considering weโ€™ve already had so many rate increases, this is unacceptable. Let the commission know your thoughts on this: thesuntimesnews.com/michigan-ags...

This year also had one of our highest voter turnouts for an off-year election, with nearly half of our registered voters participated! It's been an amazing journey, and I'm going to do my utmost to continue giving the support back to the city of Saline.

Though I was not elected for city council, I wish to thank everyone who helped me during my campaign. So many members of the community came together during my efforts in running for a local seat, and I am beyond grateful to have received such a wealth of support.

Please consider contacting the Michigan Public Service Commission to encourage them to follow the traditional route for approval so important steps are not skipped for this project that could negatively impact our community.

DTE is requesting rushed approval from Michigan regulators for their new power agreement to serve the data center proposed in Saline Township. This will sidestep scrutiny from environmental groups and consumer advocates.

You still have time to achieve that โ€œjust turned in my absentee ballotโ€ feeling! Use one of the three #Saline drop boxes to return your ballot today and select the next #SalineCityCouncil members. Drop boxes are located in the city hall lobby, the city hall parking lot and behind Comerica bank.

That feeling when you realize itโ€™s the Saturday before the election and you still havenโ€™t turned in your absentee ballot. But donโ€™t worry! Saline City Hall has special hours today so you can drop off your ballot, register to vote, or pick up a ballot from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

Anyone still holding onto their absentee ballot? Now is a good time to make a plan to get it dropped off before November 4th. At this point itโ€™s better to drop it off (if possible) to make sure it doesnโ€™t encounter any delays at the post office that make you miss the deadline!
