The American Federation of Teachers-Michigan stayed neutral on the Senate's Detroit Public School reform package. What would get them to support the bills? Do they think they are going to get anything better in the House, whose starting volley on the DPS bills were not what the teachers' union had in mind? MIRS asks AFT-Michigan President David Hecker these and other questions. 

MIRS talks about the implications of getting rid of the M-STEP test and the Board of Education's LGBTQ policy. MIRS also remembers former Speaker Curtis Hertel, Sr., and Dick Milliman, former press secretary to Gov. George Romney.
