Democrats in the state House have introduced a package of bills that would add more state regulations to the process of hydraulic fracturing, or ‘fracking.’ We spoke to a co-sponsor of the legislation on today's show.
And, as the use of meth makes headlines across the state, we talked to one woman about her recovery and what she's doing for other addicts.
And, it’s going to be a hot week for Michiganders. We took a look at what health concerns are related to the increased temperatures.
Also, we spoke with Gary Whelan of the State Department of Natural Resources about what is being done to keep the Great Lakes stocked with fish.
First on the show, the debate over expanding Medicaid in Michigan continues.
Governor Snyder is still pushing for the state Senate to vote on the legislation. It would expand Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of low-income adults in the state. The state House has already approved it.
Over the weekend, Mark Schauer waded into the debate.
Schauer – a Democrat – is running for Governor in 2014. He said on Saturday that he does not understand why Governor Snyder is not calling the Legislature into a special session.
Rick Pluta and Zoe Clark, Michigan Radio’s “It’s Just Politics” team, joined us today to answer Mark Shauer’s question.
