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

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

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 football vs. Oregon injury report: Key starters in doubt

Michigan football has had the same problems all year -- from the anemic offense to poor time of possession to injury concerns. And against Oregon , they're not getting any better. The Thursday availability report is out, and a new name is on the list as doubtful: wide receiver Channing Goodwin. He joins offensive tackle Blake Frazier, who was injured before the Indiana game but returned, and eventually was injured again vs. Michigan State . The rest of the questionable list remains, with both starting edge rushers, safety Rod Moore, and others. Oregon will be without star defensive guru, Teitum Tuioti, for the first time this year. Here are the full injury reports for both teams. Michigan Out WR #0 Kendrick Bell WR #22 Braydon Alford RB #25 Micah Ka'apana DE #37 Julius Holly OL #52 Ace Hamilton OL #54 Andrew Sprague Doubtful WR #9 Channing Goodwin OL #77 Blake Frazier Questionable S #1 Rod Moore DE #8 Dom Nichols TE #42 Jalen Hoffman OL #70 Brady Norton TE #80 Hogan Hansen DE #90 John Henry Daley Oregon Out RB #0 Jordon Davison QB #5 Dante Moore DB #21 Aaron Flowers ILB #23 Brayden Platt OLB #44 Teitum Tuioti DL

Michigan basketball flips first-half script, finds finishing touch

ANN ARBOR — Every team wants to finish the first half with a flourish and carry a wave of momentum into the break. Since the preseason, though, Michigan has been on the opposite end of that more times than it would like and stumbled into halftime. “I'll be perfectly open with you guys, it's something we've talked about. We haven't done well in those moments. Even back to our Europe games, that's been an area we've struggled with, which is finishing a half,” coach Mike Boynton Jr. said. “We had leads in both of the first two games in Lithuania, and we struggled to finish the half well. We were close with Houston (in the preseason finale) and they got away from us. And then the same thing happened (against UConn). It's a four-point game with two minutes to go and it's a 13-point game at halftime.” The Wolverines flipped that first-half script in a big way against Marquette on Wednesday, Nov. 11, ripping off a 20-5 run over the final 7:50 to seize control en route to an 84-70 win . And that was just the start of a 43-14 avalanche over a 17-minute stretch that turned a seven-point
