Current State #588 | August 11, 2015

Today on Current State: The resurgence of heroin in Lansing; forests in Michigan face the return of the spruce budworm; a preview of the Woodward Dream Cruise; and "Ernie" brings a story featuring legendary Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell to the Wharton Center.

Every WKAR News story you read is rooted in fact-based, local journalism, produced without commercial influence and available for free to everyone in mid-Michigan. No paywalls. Ever.

But this work doesn’t fund itself. With significant cuts to federal funding, public media is facing a critical moment. If you believe in journalism that serves the public interest, now is the time to act. Donate today.
