Flickr - CSIS | Center for Strategic & International Studies

At the end of every calendar month, Current State hosts its regular reporter roundtable to review the biggest stories of that month. Current State looked back at the drop out of a shoe-in, the unresolved gay marriage issue, the bumps facing road funding and the contest for Attorney General in Michigan.Our panel included Elaine Kulhanek, ‘Community Conversations’ editor of the Lansing State Journal;  Kathy Gray, who covers the capital for the Detroit Free Press; and Mickey Hirten, Associate Publisher of the Lansing City Pulse.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
