Hot topics in this year’s gubernatorial race include abortion, the Michigan economy, and schools. But there's a big issue that has not received much attention: environmental policy. As home to 1/5th of the world’s fresh water, decisions about how to interact with the environment can have strong and long-lasting impacts in Michigan. On today's episode, we unpack what's at stake and glean where the candidates stand on issues of environmental policy.

GUEST:

Kelly House, environment reporter, Bridge Michigan
