A House lawmaker was barred from sending communication that remarked on the "outsized" influence corporations like DTE Energy have on the Legislature.
The article from The Detroit News discusses Michigan House Democrat Dylan Wegela's criticism of DTE Energy, a major utility company, for its handling of power outages and its influence over state legislation. Wegela, who represents a district in Ann Arbor, has been vocal about DTE's shortcomings, particularly after severe storms left many without power for extended periods. He has accused DTE of prioritizing profits over service reliability and has called for greater accountability and regulatory oversight. His outspokenness has led to a backlash from some constituents and political figures, with accusations of him being anti-business. Despite this, Wegela remains committed to advocating for his constituents, emphasizing the need for a more resilient and customer-focused energy infrastructure in Michigan.
