Impact analysis
Setting up a city utility could cost taxpayers millions upfront, but fighting this lawsuit drains city legal funds right now.
If it wins, the city and its residents could gain lower bills and green energy, while DTE currently benefits from keeping its monopoly intact.
Right now, taxpayers are funding a pricey legal defense against deep-pocketed corporate interests.
