On today’s episode of Stateside, guest host Stephen Henderson discussed the failed state House bill that would have restricted cell phones in schools. He spoke with the bill’s sponsor. Then, Detroit-area journalists chatted about expected voter turnout in the upcoming mayoral primary election. And we took a hard look at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, a quasi-governmental agency that is under investigation by the Michigan attorney general’s office.
