WARREN — Donald Trump spoke about the auto industry during a town hall campaign stop Sept. 27 at the Macomb
Community College Sports and Expo Center in Warren. The event was cut short because the former president arrived almost 90 minutes late from another stop in Michigan. He remained onstage for about 45 minutes and
took a few questions from local autoworkers. Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn moderated the event. Trump said he wants to see America thrive with a strong automotive base.

FRASER — The public will once again be able to voice their opinion before the City Council about the fate of the former State Bank of Fraser building A hearing about Sheetz’s conditional rezoning request for the property will take place Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. The venue is yet to be determined. City Manager Elaine Leven said an alternate venue to council chambers was needed due to early voting in the November election. Sheetz is a family-owned convenience store and gas station chain that started in 1952. Locations are open 24 hours for 365 days of the year. It is new to Michigan with the first location in Romulus breaking ground March 14.
