📰 Michigan's energy regulator to hold workshops on affordability — #DustinDwyer for #MichiganPublic
❝As electricity rates are set to rise for many Michigan customers, the Michigan Public Service Commission is looking to revamp its energy assistance programs.
The goal is for no household to have to spend more than six percent of its income on energy.❞
Using solar energy may be a solution, but installations are expensive without federal grants to subsidize costs.

📰 Auchter's Art: Weird names — #JohnAuchter for #MichiganPublic #NPR
❝This week, voters here in Michigan chose a man named Abdul El-Sayed to be Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate. Like him, don't like him. Like his policies, don't like his policies. Vote for him in November, don't vote for him. Your choice. But don't fall for the BS and demonize him because of his name.❞

📰 Auchter's Art: JD Vance's reassurances — #JohnAuchter for #MichiganPublic
And thus did #JDVance find himself in #Michigan this week giving a speech in a manufacturing facility. It was awkward to say the least. Of course Vance is famously not just a flip-flopper, but a shape-shifter.

Appeals court backs Michigan school in banning 'Let's Go Brandon' shirts — #MichiganPublic
Court agrees with #Michigan school that its moronic students shouldn't be allowed to wear the shirts. Not because the slogan is political, but because it is a thinly-veiled reference to sexual vulgarity, which has no place in public schools.
PS: #tuckFrump & #fumpTruck to #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump. Also #fuckTrump, for the juvenile MAGAs.

Heard today on #MichiganPublic that there is a growing problem of #weed extract for CBD being diverted and chemically converted for the THC market. They focused on its use in vape cartridges, but said it is also used in edibles.
I suspect that the odd overpowering maple-ish flavor I’ve tasted in some cheap gummies might be a result of that. Disturbing.
