Ann Arbor Server Sues Anna's House, Says Overtime Pay Fell to $5.90 an Hour

Lauren Burke has now sued the breakfast chain, its owner and 14 related companies, arguing that math reflects a systemic shortchanging of tipped workers rather than a one-time error.

They said southeast Michigan needs to attract and retain a talented workforce to boost economic growth.

Evans was reluctant to speak on the data centers, going last after Coulter and Hackel had their say.
