🏛️ Government
Michigan state utility regulators ruled that residents can use the Ford F-150 Lightning to power their homes during outages—its battery can run critical systems for days.
The decision means residents do not need utility permission to use the truck’s home backup feature when power is lost.
Bay City Mayor Chris Girard vetoed the resolution declaring the city a welcoming community on March 19—he said his decision was made to protect public safety and financial stability.
