Current State for March 24-25, 2018

We start this weekend's Current State with efforts to improve school safety and performance. We also talk with Jackson mayor Derek Dobies about starting a book club to help heal the racial divide in his city. We review endorsements for Michigan gubernatorial candidates. We get a spring forecast and learn why college sports teams are almost always in the red. Plus, learn how climate change may affect maple syrup production in the Great Lakes.
