If former state Treasurer Bob Kleine could reform the state's emergency manager law, how would he do it? Or would he simply eliminate it? The Great Lakes Economic Group consultant also opines on whether the Flint water crisis would have happened under former Gov. Jennifer Granholm's watch and why it will take cities until the 2030s to fully return to a tax revenue base equal to 2008 unless the state steps up their revenue sharing payments.

The MIRS team talks about Lt. Gov. Brian Calley's email from January in which he says Rep. Sheldon Neeley "is not productive and he is not going to be productive" and how Sen. Tom Casperson's "bathroom bill" for transgender people puts Michigan smack dab in the middle of the country's latest social political issue.
