LSJ columnist on Eaton County shooting, City Market woes

Judy Putnam with Sue Carter
Scott Pohl/WKAR

Current State talks to Lansing State Journal columnist Judy Putnam about her recent columns on the Lansing City Market and taxidermy squirrels, among other topics. 
A few times a week, our next guest works hard to report on people in mid-Michigan who are arguably getting the short end of the stick.  Judy Putnam’s “local advocacy” column appears times weekly in the Lansing State Journal.

She mixes her reformer’s zeal with columns that underscore what’s very right about life in the Lansing area.   
 
Current State brings Judy back to the studio to talk about her most recent columns on what's happening in mid-Michigan.
