Stateside: Thursday, May 5, 2022

On today's Stateside, as hospitalizations, due to COVID, begin to increase again, we asked where does Michigan currently stands. A Windsorite explained how an impromptu walk along the Detroit River led to the first sighting of an otter in nearly a century.

Then we discussed the growing issue of homelessness among the state's senior citizen population.

And we finished the program speaking with a Michigan combat veteran who recently traveled to war-torn Ukraine to give military training to the country's defenders.
