📰 News we're reading
1. Fallen Warren police officers remembered at Police Week ceremony (macombdaily.com) — Warren residents and officials gathered at the local Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 124 to honor two city officers who died in the line of duty and to mark National Police Week. City leaders, police brass, and families reflected on sacrifice, community trust, and the ongoing bond between Warren’s officers and the people they serve. 
2. Warren Mott turns struggles into triumph, downs rival Fitzgerald (macombdaily.com) — Warren’s own Mott High girls soccer team has snapped years of frustration with an 8-0 rout of crosstown rival Warren Fitzgerald, earning its fifth win of the season. Players and their first-year coach describe how better attendance, effort, and belief have transformed a once-winless program into a confident, competitive squad that’s finally having fun again.
3. Trucking company quickly settles allegations of refusing to hire women drivers (landline.media) — A Warren-based trucking company, Central Transport, has agreed to pay $5.5 million and overhaul its hiring practices after federal regulators alleged it systematically refused to hire qualified women truck drivers nationwide. The consent decree, lasting two and a half years, requires new anti-discrimination training, outside monitoring, and gives previously rejected women drivers a chance to reapply without retaliation. A separate lawsuit over use of criminal history in hiring is still pending.
4. General Motors Cuts 600 IT Jobs for AI Focus - Job Risk? (rswebsols.com) — Hundreds of General Motors IT workers in Warren are losing their jobs as the company shifts away from traditional tech roles toward higher-paid artificial intelligence positions. GM says the cuts, affecting 500–600 salaried staff mainly in Warren and Austin, support its push into electric and autonomous vehicles, leaving many local professionals scrambling to reskill for AI-focused work.
5. Some Detroiters pay high property taxes, others don't (mackinac.org) — Property tax rules in Michigan are creating big gaps between taxable and market values, and Warren is singled out among the state’s largest cities for having a lower taxable value ratio than average. The piece explains how Detroit’s especially high tax rates and capped assessments reward long-time owners while penalizing newcomers and builders, and suggests reforms that could eventually influence tax policy affecting Warren homeowners too.
