In four days, voters will finally decide who will be Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State as well as who will succeed Michigan’s Carl Levin in the U.S. Senate and dozens of elected representatives at the state capitol.To review and to update where we stand, Current State’s Month in Review panel of capital reporters includes Tim Skubick of WKAR TV’s “Off the Record”,  Kathleen Gray of the Detroit Free Press and Gannett newspapers of Michigan, and Kyle Melinn of MIRS.
