PODCAST: Sex scandal @MSU gropes pols/GOP tag team gangs up on Schuette/Pot & Prevailing Wage

Should the Michigan Legislature hold the state’s taxpayers harmless if they lose their personal exemption due to the new tax reform law passed by Congress? Why are there so many candidates running to succeed U.S. Rep David Trott in the 11th Congressional District? Three Republican candidates for governor, minus Bill Schuette, say they’ll team up in a series of town halls around the state. Should the two Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate do the same thing? Is this a campaign gimmick—or should voters be grateful they’ll get a chance to know the candidates? Will enough signatures be validated on petitions to force an initiated law banning the prevailing wage? Who should have investigated MSU’s mishandling of the Larry Nassar sex scandal long before now—Attorney General Bill Schuette or Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer?
