On today's Stateside, we learned about how DTE goes about requesting a rate hike and the state's system of for-profit monopolies which provide electricity and gas to the vast majority of Michiganders. DTE is asking approval for another rate hike despite years of poor service to their customers. (DTE Energy is among Michigan Public's corporate sponsors.)
Then, Grand Rapids author of fantasy novels, Erin A. Craig, explains her latest take on a Grimm brothers story. Craig’s stories are full of sumptuous, shadowy detail, tinged with elements of horror, but not so steeped in gore as to be inaccessible to more gentle or younger readers.
