• Hackel-Lucido feud ensnares $1.5M grant for sexual assault, abuse victims (detroitnews.com) — Macomb County residents concerned about domestic and sexual violence should know a $1.5 million federal grant for prosecutors and nonprofits like Turning Point and Care House collapsed amid a long-running feud between Executive Mark Hackel and Prosecutor Peter Lucido. County leaders are now weighing smaller budget increases for victim services while clashing over past charging decisions, missed grant opportunities, and how to fund support for survivors.
• Detroit Regional Chamber PAC Releases Endorsements for State and Local Races, Opts Not to Endorse Either Candidate for Governor (detroitchamber.com) — Macomb County residents will see the Detroit Regional Chamber PAC backing Mark Hackel for reelection as county executive, a key office shaping local budgets and services. The business-led PAC also announced bipartisan endorsements for statewide offices and numerous Michigan House races, signaling which candidates it believes best support economic growth and regulatory stability.
• James: Families should not have to pay higher electric rates due to data centers (house.gov) — Residents in Macomb County's 10th District may see protection from higher electric bills if massive new data centers come to the area, under legislation Rep. John James just backed. The bill would require large power users like data centers to pay for grid upgrades instead of shifting costs onto local households, while leaving siting decisions and environmental safeguards to local communities.
