KEEGO HARBOR REJECTS AMENDMENTS TO PERMIT MARIJUANA FACILITIES BY MARK VEST mvest@candgnews.com
KEEGO HARBOR — On general election ballots Nov. 7, voters in Keego Harbor
had two amendments and one new ordinance to consider, and whether to allow marijuana facilities in the city was the common theme with each of them. Voters rejected both amendments and the ordinance. The Keego Harbor “City Charter Proposed Amendment to Allow a Marihuana Retailer by Ordinance & Prohibit Establishments”
received 240 yes votes and 276 no votes; the “Open Stores Ordinance” had 197 yes votes, compared to 313 voters who were opposed; the “Cannabis Licensing Charter Amendment” got 205 yes votes and 314 no votes. The results mean that Keego remains an opt-out city when it comes to marijuana dispensaries. See MARIJUANA on page 14A
METRO DETROIT — It’s no secret that college enrollment rates have declined since the COVID-19 pandemic. But while enrollment has been down, costs have been up, and local universities and community colleges have reported tuition increases. Oakland Community College has five campuses, which are located in Southfield, Royal Oak, Auburn Hills, Waterford and Farmington Hills. OCC Chancellor Peter Provenzano said there are currently about 21,900 students enrolled for the year, compared to approximately 24,400 five years ago. “Tuition costs have increased about 13% over the last five years, and then enrollment has decreased by about 10% over the last five years,” Provenzano said.
