How many Republican state House candidates have bothered to send back a questionnaire to Planned Parenthood of Michigan? How many Democratic questionnaires have not been supportive of Planned Parenthood? Lori Carpentier, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood talks about abortion as an increasingly partisan issue in the past 15 years and if she sees it continuing to be.

Also, Brad Williams of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce previews the annual policy conference this week on Mackinac Island. What he is looking forward to? Are Republican House members playing politics by not showing up?

And why isn't District Court Judge Hugh Clarke a big fan of Attorney General Bill Schuette? And is it possible the AG went after Gov. Rick Snyder last week as cover in case his Flint water investigation doesn't dig up anything else?
