State capitol

State Capitol reporters Tim Skubick and Susan J. Demas join Current State host Mark Bashore to review and update July’s biggest Michigan political stories.

It’s fairly quiet at the state Capitol as most Michigan legislators take a summer break, but state Supreme Court decisions, 2016 ballot efforts and, of course, road funding, still made news in July.

Current State talks with Tim Skubick, who covers the capitol for Michigan public television's "Off The Record," and Inside Michigan Politics" publisher and Editor Susan J. Demas.
