New poll: 4 out of 5 Michiganders want lawmakers to do more to regulate data center growth. And 76% are at least somewhat concerned AI could reduce good-paying jobs.

It’s time for stronger laws that protect our air, water, and energy bills.

A proposed data center in Inkster will not move forward after a standing-room-only crowd of residents packed city hall to oppose the project — and the city council declined to act on it.

The developer, Robert Kato of Klever Technology Center LLC, had applied for a special land use permit to convert a vacant 40,000-square-foot warehouse on Southern Street off Michigan Avenue into a data center. After hours of public comments from residents, no council member made a motion to approve the request.

"3 of every 4 voters – from across the political spectrum – support the creation of a state program to ensure water access for households facing the greatest affordability challenges."

Agreed! ♥️💧

[Michigan League for Public Policy @michleague.bsky @MichLeague]

"As we all feel the pressure of increasing costs of living, a recent poll shows that 89% of Michigan voters agree: unaffordable costs shouldn’t prevent anyone from having clean, safe drinking water."

This is welcome news from Wisconsin DNR that the agency is taking action against Enbridge's conduct throughout the Line 5 reroute - but it's not enough. Enbridge should never have had a permit for the project to begin with. #ShutDownLine5

[Clean Water Action 💧 cleanwatermi.bsky.social @CleanWaterMI]

Vote YES on 2 and spread the word!

#MopUpMichigan

[Progress Michigan @ProgressMich]

79% of Michiganders support Proposal 2, and 65% support it strongly.

The initiative would ban campaign contributions from regulated utilities and large government contractors. Support has stayed strong all year, and opposition has never topped 13%.

[Clean Water Action 💧 cleanwatermi.bsky.social @CleanWaterMI]

@GenXPolitico1 @MichiganMOP These corporations donate heavily to opponents on both sides of the aisle, and we have supporters on the right, left, and everywhere in-between who are sick of these pay-to-play politics.

[Clean Water Action 💧 cleanwatermi.bsky.social @CleanWaterMI]

It's time to vote #YESon2 and party to get money out of politics!

RSVP below to join #MopUpMichigan in Ann Arbor 9/29, Grand Rapids 9/30, Metro Detroit 10/4, or find a house party near you and let's win for Michigan in November!

A cold brew and a hot take? Don’t mind if we do.

Chris from The Mitten Brewing Company knows that Proposal 2 is good for Michigan businesses.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan was just sued for unlawfully operating as a monopoly to drive down competition, raise your health care prices, and lower the quality of your care.

Our coalition sent a letter to Gov. Whitmer today outlining the steps her administration needs to take before the end of the year to #ShutDownLine5. With just a few months left of her final term, now is the moment to stop Enbridge's tunnel scheme once and for all.

If you hate DTE, they quietly hid their employee benefit boat club for years from their own employees, lied constantly about why the club had to go…and now it’s a public club (100$ a year) and they may lose access to the river again…

[Clean Water Action 💧 cleanwatermi.bsky.social @CleanWaterMI]

Ballots are out and we need everyone to vote #YESon2! It's time to get utility and big government contractor corporate cash OUT of our politicians' pockets.

Here's how you can help bring @MichiganMOP across the finish line. Let's win for MI in November!

@bnchofnumbers @MichiganMOP It targets the money we have strong legal ground to target (conflict of interest money from monopoly utilities and large government contractors).

Those also coincidentally (ahem) happen to be the biggest corporate donors in Michigan politics.

@AbdulElSayed "Clean water guaranteed" sounds great to us! ♥️💧
