Saline Township sticks with Oracle tax break for data center amid protest

SALINE TOWNSHIP — Saline Township trustees reaffirmed a 12-year tax break for Oracle's planned $43.1 billion AI data center Nov. 11, following more than an hour of criticism from residents and local officials who questioned the project's approval process and warned of its impact on communities across Washtenaw County. The board also moved to ratify creation of the Industrial Development District where the facility is being built, after an attorney challenged the legality of the township's original approval process. "It's disappointing. It does seem like something shady is happening," said Courtney Brady of Ypsilanti Township after the meeting. Residents of Saline Township and other Washtenaw County communities packed into the rural Township Hall, which had a full parking lot and few seats left available amid the sizable turnout. Many, like other residents facing the developments across the country and in Michigan, have contested the proposal. One after one for more than an hour, speakers challenged the legality of the township's approval process while raising broader concerns about the project's effect on farmland, water supplies, electricity costs, traffic and noise. Yousef Rabhi, a Washtenaw County commissioner and former state representative who recently was elected Ann Arbor's next mayor, was among the

The hits, misses and grades from some of college basketball's most intriguing teams (so far)

Tuesday's Champions Classic is an incubator. It's two enormous games, and the rest of the college basketball slate fades into the background. Outside of a couple minutes of Florida-Florida State before Duke-Michigan State tipped off and Illinois-Texas Tech (at halftime of the Duke-Michigan State brawl), I didn't get a chance to watch a single second of anything else.

Out-of-state students voted in Michigan. They shouldn't have. | Brady

Sophie Boyle is an out-of-state student. She moved from Westchester, New York, to Ann Arbor over the summer to begin her freshman year at the University of Michigan — just in time for her first election. She cast her ballot for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “They made it really easy here. I could switch my registration and vote all in one kind of process,” she said. “New York tends to lean left ... and Michigan is a very competitive, very crucial swing state. I knew that, in terms of where my vote would count more, Michigan was a more substantial place to vote.” Thousands of out-of-state students shared Boyle’s thought process, and most of them supported Democrats. It’s no surprise El-Sayed won Washtenaw County — which includes the University of Michigan — by a 50-point margin. To be clear, El-Sayed and others in his party would have triumphed last week even without the out-of-state vote, especially in overwhelmingly blue college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing. But this election was an anomaly. In normal times, without a historically unpopular president like Donald Trump in the White House, out-of-staters really can make a difference. That’s a problem. Elections have serious consequences.

Normalizing bathroom passes threaten students’ independence and health

Going to the bathroom is a right, not a privilege. Yet, schools across the country have normalized restricting access to natural needs in favor of a more “organized system.” This system is not only impractical, but it comes off as condescending and even toes the line of endangering students.

Michigan, MSU fans donate 237 gallons of urine at 'Piss Off' for fertilizer research

For Michigan State University alumnus Trevor Peterson, the name alone was enough to sell him on the idea. Peterson and his friends waited in line for the "Piss Off," a research competition he learned aboutthrough social media. The name came up in the friends' group chat, and they instantly knew participation was mandatory while tailgating in Ann Arbor. "It's a little bit about the competition, but also at the same time, the competition is the fun part," Peterson said. "I'm also happy to provide research for the soil and fertilizer." However funny and gimmicky the promotion sounds, it worked. The researchers received exactly what they wanted: as much urine as they could get to turn into nutrient-rich fertilizer. The competition, organized by researchers at the University of Michigan and MSU, was designed for a process referred to as pee-cycling. Researchers at both universities are interested in extracting nutrients from human urine to eventually use it as a natural, nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer will be used at U-M's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. In total, the "Piss Off" movement accumulated more than 237 gallons of urine. U-M fans won the competition by a

As Michigan struggles, Utah transplants dealing with 'bigger microscope'

ANN ARBOR — When a season isn’t living up to expectations at a place like Michigan, everything, rightfully so, gets hyper-analyzed and magnified. Michigan receiver JJ Buchanan was at Utah last season before following head coach Kyle Whittingham to Ann Arbor when he took over the Wolverines ’ program. Buchanan laughed when asked if the microscope on the Michigan program is more intensely focused here than what he experienced with the Utes . “It’s a bigger microscope here, for sure,” Buchanan told reporters this week after practice. Not that anyone expected otherwise, but the reality is the coaches and players who joined Whittingham from Utah, where he was head coach the last 21 seasons, as well as from BYU, are experiencing heat and criticism they’ve probably never endured. That’s what happens when you nosedive from a preseason No. 16 ranking to a 5-4 overall record, 2-4 Big Ten. After the ninth game, Michigan’s 15-6 loss to Michigan State last weekend , Whittingham fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck less than 24 hours later , despite after the game saying he would wait until after the season to evaluate him. Whittingham certainly has been the subject of considerable criticism, with calls from
