MIRS Monday, June 6, 2016

Did the House Republicans' passage of the latest Detroit Public Schools reform package upstage the Detroit Regional Chamber conference? Is the annual event on Mackinac Island over-covered by the state media, anyway? 

Also, on this week's podcast, listen to House Speaker Kevin Cotter talk about the DPS plan moments after its passage on Thursday night. A road package may have passed last year, but Department of Transportation Director Kirk Steudle says we're only about five years away from needing to revisit the issue.

And, finally, MIRS talks about why Line 5 will be the issue that keeps giving for environmentalists until the public is sick of hearing about it.
