Issues & Ale

It’s been a year — in more ways than one. We’ve been through a Presidential election, elected two state Supreme Court justices, filled an open U.S. Senate seat, as well as changed the make-up of the state House of Representatives. At our next Issues & Ale, we’ll take a look back... and a look forward at what's to come in Lansing. Join Michigan Public's It's Just Politics team of Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta, and their expert political panel, as they discuss what’s on the horizon and take your questions!

Today, we talk with reporters about Detroit buildings that look abandoned, but have owners — and why that's the case. Then, we listen to some of last night's Issues and Ale from Kalamazoo. Later, we discuss how one Michigan diner is bringing people together by talking politics.
