密歇根新闻广播 地面塌陷资金陷入僵局 水资源短缺

 

The state Legislature is back in Lansing after a two week break. Before they left for vacation, lawmakers in the House and Senate were at odds¹ over how to fund a fix for the sinkhole mess in Macomb County. This Week in Review, Weekend Edition host Rebecca Kruth and senior news analyst² Jack³ Lessenberry talk about whether legislators will be able to play nice long enough to get this sorted out.

They also look at the state superintendent's statement earlier this week that Detroit will voluntarily close some of its schools, the latest round of controversial water shutoffs in Detroit, and state Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof's harsh take on term limits.
