LANSING — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is traveling to Germany as part of a trade mission, her office said on Thursday, Nov. 12. The trip comes as the Detroit Lions have a game scheduled in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 15. The governor's announcement didn't say whether Whitmer would attend the NFL game. While in Germany, Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., will participate in SEMICON Europa, Europe's largest combined electronics design and manufacturing event, according to the governor's office. SEMICON Europa takes place in Munich this week, according to its website. “Germany has been a critical partner in Michigan's economic success, with companies investing billions in our state, creating jobs and helping us lead the future of manufacturing and innovation," Whitmer said in a press release. "We've built strong relationships with German businesses over the years, and we're going to keep showing up and making the case for why Michigan is the best place to invest and grow." The new Germany venture is Whitmer's fifth overseas trade mission of 2026. She traveled to South Korea in September, to France, Luxembourg and Belgium in June, to Italy and Germany

She bought the ticket at a Michigan Lottery kiosk inside the Kroger store at 2200 E. 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak.

"When $1 million came up on my phone screen, I almost fell out of my chair! I scanned the ticket again, and then a third time because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing." Moore recently claimed her prize and plans to use the money to pay off her mortgage and save the remainder.

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.

A lawsuit filed by Zeeland Township that aims to see Michigan’s Public Act 233 declared unconstitutional has been remanded to Ottawa County’s 20th Circuit Court. RWE , the global energy company named as the lawsuit's defendant, “removed" the case to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in August shortly after the initial complaint was filed July 7. The case was temporarily assigned to Judge Paul L. Maloney. RWE has a pending application for Silver Maple Solar, a large-scale solar development, before the Michigan Public Service Commission. The project would be located in Zeeland and Jamestown Townships near the Ottawa Executive Airport. Maloney granted the municipality's motion to remand the case to Ottawa County's 20th Circuit Court on Nov. 10. “First, any decision by this court regarding whether Public Act 233 violates the Michigan Constitution is not binding on (state) courts, so exercising jurisdiction here would not be useful,” Maloney wrote. “Second, exercising jurisdiction over this action would not be fair. The court will not cross the line into state sovereignty by exercising jurisdiction over a case that involves purely questions of state law, especially when many of those questions require interpreting a state constitution.” As of
The new limits Michigan hunters will face on harvesting antlered deer next year could hurt the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' bottom line, causing further problems for a department already dealing with declining license sales and increasing costs. The new rules are intended to reverse deer population trends in Michigan, where some southeast Michigan communities have taken the controversial step of culling their abundant herds and where does often outnumber bucks. DNR officials projected their initial recommendation for enacting a so-called "one buck rule" would lead to an annual loss of at least $1 million in license sales revenue, according to a memo department officials sent to the Natural Resources Commission in March. In May, a commissioner speculated that potential losses could range upwards of $6 million, a sizeable chunk of the $27.6 million in revenue the DNR receives from selling single, combination and universal antlerless deer hunting licenses. "It won't be disastrous, but certainly this level will still be painful to absorb while we have to contend with the responsibility we have to try and manage our resources appropriately as well," said Brent Rudolph, DNR deer, elk and moose management specialist, in an interview with The Detroit News.
