Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 28th of August.
Good morning, Battle Creek.
📰 Economy
Storms temporarily shut down one of the largest Midwest refineries—causing gas stations in West Michigan to pay nearly 25 cents more per gallon at delivery points in Ferrysburg and Muskegon.
Analysts expect prices to drop after Labor Day as production recovers.
🌲 Environment
Environmental groups and business representatives are urging EGLE to make clear decisions on permits needed for a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac that would allow Enbridge to expand Line 5—critics warn the project may harm wetlands while supporters say it is needed.
Citizens can submit comments online or by mail until tomorrow.
🏈 Sports
The Enquirer's E-10 poll names Harper Creek as the No. 1 high school football team for this season even after losing key players from last year, and it ranks teams based only on on-field performance.
The rankings include Lakeview, Marshall, Coldwater and others — setting the stage for a competitive season.
