LANSING, Mich. — (AP) — General Motors is poised to announce next week major electric-vehicle investments in Michigan, with plans to spend $6.5 billion and create up to 4,000 new jobs at two plants. The state's economic development board is expected to approve an incentives package Tuesday, according to a meeting agenda posted online. The Associated Press previously reported the Detroit automaker's plan to partner in a joint venture to build a $2.5B electric-vehicle battery factory in the Lansing area, adding as many as 1,700 workers. GM also plans to spend $4 billion and create up to 2,300 new jobs by designating an existing plant in Orion Township as its third electric-vehicle factory, along with plants in Detroit-Hamtramck and Spring Hill, Tennessee. The selections are a big win for Michigan, which missed out on three Ford Motor Co. battery factories and a Ford electric-vehicle assembly plant that will be built in Kentucky and Tennessee.

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. — (AP) — A Detroit-area judge has apologized for wishing that she could send a 72-year-old immigrant with cancer to jail for a weedy property. I’m very embarrassed that I did so,” said Alexis Krot, a judge in Hamtramck's District Court. The judge's apology followed a TV report about the case and criticism about how she treated the man. “If I could give you jail time on this, I would.”Chowdhury, a native of Bangladesh, explained that he was weak with cancer. A son, Shibbir Chowdhury, said he helps his father with the yard but was out of the country at the time last year.

The comments from Michigan Judge Alexis Krot toward Burhan Chowdhury have been met with a backlash since a video of the court exchange was shared on social media this month.

2020 Census Challenges FILE - The Detroit skyline is shown from the Detroit River on May 12, 2020. The time for communities with a beef about how they were counted in the 2020 census has arrived. Many leaders worry that inaccurate figures could cost their jurisdictions their share of the $1.5 trillion the federal government distributes annually based on census numbers. The census challenges won't change the number of congressional seats each state gets, or the numbers used for redrawing political districts. As of this week, the Census Bureau hadn't made public any applications.

The U.S. Census Bureau has begun accepting challenges from states, cities and tribal nations that want to contest the results of the 2020 census.

School Shooting Michigan This image from 52-3 District Court shows Ethan Crumbley in a Zoom hearing in Rochester Hills, Mich., Friday, Jan. 7, 2022. The teenager charged with killing four students at their Michigan high school has waived a key court hearing.

The high school, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Detroit, could reopen during the week of Jan. 23.

Facing a surge in COVID-19 cases, the Detroit Public Schools Community District joins a growing number of U.S. districts moving classes online. Long stretches of remote learning over the last two years have taken a toll, leaving many kids with academic and mental health setbacks that experts are still trying to understand. More than a third of Philadelphia’s 216 public schools have switched to remote learning through at least Friday, drawing an outcry from families that were given little time to prepare. Detroit gives families the option of full-time remote learning. In Chicago, Jennifer Baez said she hopes the district will allow remote learning until the surge slows down.

LANSING, Mich. — (AP) — Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib announced Wednesday she will seek reelection in a new Detroit-area seat created through redistricting, hours after fellow Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence said she will retire from Congress rather than run in the district. Tlaib, one of the first two Muslim women in Congress, said the seat has nearly two-thirds of people she currently represents. Declared candidates so far include state Rep. Shri Thanedar and former state Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo, who's now on the Detroit school board. Lawrence, the state's lone Black member of Congress, announced Tuesday night that she would not seek a fifth term. She said redistricting did not factor into her decision, though it was believed she was unhappy with the map.

U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who agreed to impose sanctions in August, rejected most of the attorneys' objections to Detroit's award, but she did reduce it by about $29,000. Those sanctioned include Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood and seven other lawyers who were part of the lawsuit filed on behalf of six Republican voters after Joe Biden's 154,000-vote victory over Trump. “Plaintiffs' attorneys, many of whom seek donations from the public to fund lawsuits like this one ... have the ability to pay this sanction,” Parker wrote. She previously ordered each of the lawyers to undergo 12 hours of legal education, including six hours in election law.
