Michigan is preparing to usher in a new era with legal recreational marijuana sales in 2020, but the state's largest employers say their pre-employment drug screenings that include cannabis will not change. The state's residents already are failing pre-employment drug screening tests at a rate higher than elsewhere in the nation. According to Quest Diagnostics data, the numbers of people who didn't pass pre-employment drug screenings and likely lost potential job opportunities has increased by 31% from 2014 to 2018, and jumped more than 20% between 2017 and 2018, alone.

DTE Energy Co. agreed to buy a natural gas gathering system and pipeline in Louisiana for $2.25 billion to boost capacity to supply the Gulf Coast.

DTE earnings call for the period ending June 30, 2019.

U.S. power utility DTE Energy Co is nearing a deal to acquire gas pipeline system M5 Midstream LLC for about $2.5 billion, expanding its business that's not tied to electricity provision, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Advanced energy efficiency measures have made the provision of electricity less lucrative for power companies such as DTE, which serves about 2.2 million customers in southeastern Michigan, including Detroit. In response, DTE has sought to expand its businesses that encompass natural gas pipelines and storage, because they provide steady cash flows even during energy price swings.
