Go home for Thanksgiving while you can

Students should go home for Thanksgiving, even if the only magical part of it will be the spread of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Some people would rather go home with a friend or a significant other for Thanksgiving break. Though the relationships you make in college are really important, that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the time you get with your family members.

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

4-H funding takes significant hit in draft budget for Hillsdale County

Proposed budget cuts for 2027 in Hillsdale County could reduce mental health programming and agricultural education, including 4-H, from the Michigan State University Extension . Mary Bowling of the MSU Extension told commissioners the potential loss would effectively amount to about a third of the organization’s budget during a meeting Nov. 10. “We’re not opposed to a cut, but a third of our budget would affect (our) ability to serve county residents,” she said. The tentative budget calls for a 17% reduction in funding based on the county’s memorandum of understanding, along with reductions involving a program coordinator for 4-H, according to Commissioner Brent Leininger. Bowling said the cuts could affect more than 4-H , including pesticide applicator education, mental health first aid, farm stress assistance and training under ServSafe. Nisha Ritchie, a retired educator and volunteer for 4-H, said reducing support for the coordinator position could have long-term consequences for young people in Hillsdale County. She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H. Without adequate coordinator support, she said, club leaders could have fewer resources and less guidance. Leininger said the municipality is facing difficult choices for 2027. The tentative general fund
