Talk of revamping the makeup of the Lansing Board of Water and Light Board of Commissioners has taken another step forward. East Lansing mayor Nathan Triplett has submitted an expansion plan to Lansing mayor Virg Bernero. It would, for the first time, include representation outside the Lansing city limits.

Triplett says this is a complex issue, and a lot of conversation needs to happen. He's says he's pleased, however, that Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero seems to be open to considering the proposal. Triplett joins us to offer details.
