Coverage on this page runs across the legislature and the governor's office, statewide elections, the courts and the automotive and manufacturing industries that have defined Michigan's economic identity for more than a century. Reporting extends through Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren and Sterling Heights and the industrial and rural communities across both peninsulas. The auto industry's ongoing transition to electric vehicles makes Michigan a focal point for debates about manufacturing employment, federal industrial policy and the future of the Midwest labor market. Great Lakes water rights, shoreline management and the environmental legacy of heavy industry are the subjects that recur alongside the economic ones.
