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.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
