The state budget has taken all of the oxygen out of Lansing. But, what's really been going on at the state Capitol... and what comes next in Michigan politics?
Join Michigan Public’s It's Just Politics team Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta, as they return to Grand Rapids for our next Issues & Ale. They'll be joined by a panel of guests to dig into what’s happening at the state capitol and take your questions about Michigan politics.
