We were in Detroit on 9/18, standing against a DTE rate hike

On Wednesday, Sept. 18, we were at Mumford High School in Detroit for a public hearing of Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC). The MPSC is the utility regulator for the state of Michigan. DTE, one of the worst utility providers in the nation, wants another $456.4 million rate hike.
