AARP Michigan is planning a rally at the state Capitol Tuesday morning

It's Wednesday, which means it's time for Michigan Radio’s Christina Shockley to check in with political analyst Jack Lessenberry about what’s happening this week in Michigan politics. Today, Jack and Christina cover how there's a little something for everybody in the budget Gov. Snyder signed yesterday, whether Democrats unhappy with the spending plan might campaign on the issue and Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s announcement that the city is going to cut 164 firefighters this summer.
