There's been a great effort to revitalize Detroit in recent years, but new figures from the US Census Bureau show the city is still losing population. This Week in Review, Weekend Edition host Rebecca Kruth and senior news analyst Jack Lessenberry talk about what it's going to take for Detroit to see some growth.

They also discuss legislation that would outlaw so-called sanctuary cities in the state, the "Choose Life" license plate option that may soon be available to Michigan drivers, and a bill that would allow dogs on outdoor patios at restaurants. 

Rebecca Kruth is the host of All Things Considered at Michigan Public. She also co-hosts Michigan Public's weekly language podcast That’s What They Say with English professor Anne Curzan.
