Summary
Ann Arbor voters rejected Prop E, so DTE keeps the city’s electricity business and the public-power takeover is off the table for now. The rate-and-reliability fight isn’t over—it just moves back to the usual regulatory and political channels.

Impact analysis
No takeover means the city avoids the upfront cost and financial risk of building or buying a utility, but residents remain exposed to DTE’s rates.
DTE keeps the customer base, and voters who worried about takeover costs or risk get the outcome they wanted.
People pushing for public power—and anyone hoping municipalization would lower bills or improve reliability—lose this route for now.
