Governor Rick Snyder signed a handful of bills this week, including one that will change the retirement system for new teachers starting in 2018. This Week in Review, Weekend Edition host Rebecca Kruth and news analyst Jack Lessenberry talk about the implications when it comes to attracting new teachers to Michigan.

They also discuss Snyder's "Good Jobs" plan which state lawmakers passed this week, a new report that says immigrants drive economic growth in Michigan, and beefed-up security plans for this year's Labor Day Mackinac Bridge walk.

Rebecca Kruth is the host of All Things Considered at Michigan Public. She also co-hosts Michigan Public's weekly language podcast That’s What They Say with English professor Anne Curzan.
