The Supreme Court justices ruled July 9 that a large part of Oklahoma is part of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation's reservation territory. But this ruling could affect a lawsuit filed by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians against Michigan.

Today on Stateside, we discussed how two recent Supreme Court decisions may impact cases in Michigan. Plus, last night, Lansing City Council heard public comments on a proposal to cut police funding in the city by 50 percent over the next several years.
