Washtenaw Co. prosecutor wins Michigan attorney general race

DETROIT — Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit, a Democrat, won his race to be Michigan's next attorney general, defeating Republican Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd. The Associated Press and CNN called the race for Savit. In an address at the Michigan Democratic Party's watch party, given shortly before 2 a.m., Savit said he would stand with working people to prevent wage theft, would protect the right to vote and keep the state safe. "This is a historic night here in Michigan," Savit said, "and we have just gone through probably the ugliest, most divisive and dirtiest campaign season that we have ever seen in this country. And you know what, at the end of the day, what won? It was love. It was a message that communities can stand together.” Savit will replace Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is term-limited. Lloyd congratulated Savit on a "hard-fought victory" and thanked his family, volunteers, supporters and donors in a statement issued Wednesday morning. "I hope he will run the office fairly and prioritize the public's safety as attorney general," Lloyd said of Savit. "I still have the best job I've ever had as Eaton County prosecutor and I will be back

At a gathering in Pontiac last month, Sonia Acosta pointed out six people in the room who had just become United States citizens.

Dearborn Public Schools $1.5B bond request passes overwhelmingly

DEARBORN — Dearborn Public Schools passed a massive $1.5 billion bond Nov. 3 to overhaul its aging infrastructure, paving the way for six new schools to be built, according to unofficial results. According to the Wayne County Election Division, the issue passed with 68% voting yes to 32% voting no, with all precincts in Dearborn reporting data even as others in Wayne County were still outstanding. Superintendent Mike Esseily, who took over the reins of the district in July, called the bond passage a win for the community. "The entire community was behind this plan," Esseily said by phone. "The entire community believed in its vision." The district's previous bond failed narrowly in 2019, sending leaders back to the drawing board for a more comprehensive plan that voters would find more appealing and financially palatable. Esseily said the work paid off. "People were able to see this plan had a lot of thought behind it, it made sense, the numbers matched the work and people were excited," he said. The district plans to rebuild, renovate and update all of its school buildings over the next 20 years with the 30-year bond, which appeared on the ballot as a 3.14-mill request.
