Left Of Lansing

We're officially in Summer, and I'm serving up the 42nd episode of the weekly podcast! My opening monologue deals with why I'm supporting the Michigan Multimedia Jobs proposal, which provides tax credits for companies wanting to make movies, shows, commercials, and other multimedia productions in the state. Michigan Democrats are busy helping people, including providing free meals for all public school students, but why in the world are Republicans against it?  Then, Democratic state Senator Stephanie Chang joins me to discuss how the Democratic majority in the state legislature is getting stuff done on environmental justice, education, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, hate crimes, and the state budget. Senator Chang also shares her thoughts on keeping Generation Z voters engaged.  The "Last Call" highlights a speech by Democratic State Representative Laurie Pohutsky, who introduced a house resolution declaring June as Pride Month.  Enjoy!
