News that Congresswoman Debbie Dingell opposes the University of Michigan/Los Alamos project is being celebrated in Ypsilanti Township.
Dingell sent a letter Tuesday to township and U-M officials. She says the proposed center has become a troubling example of what happens when a major project moves faster than meaningful community engagement.
That was great news for Township Supervisor Brenda Stumbo.
“She has power and influence, and I think she was moved by the meeting that we had that U-M hosted and hearing the passion and the concern for all the residents in our area. So, I am very, very thankful!”
In her letter, Dingell says the roles and responsibilities of U-M and Los Alamos remain insufficiently transparent. She says everyone needs to be clear about the roles the federal, state and local governments play in the project.
