Current State #706 | February 18, 2016

Today on Current State: Gary Naeyaert of the Great Lakes Education Project considers legislation addressing schools in Detroit; The Lansing Symphony Orchestra's upcoming Broadway concert; an MSU project aims to recycle building materials; a preview of the 2016 Detroit Tigers; and Scott D. Southard reviews Howard Jacobson’s "Shylock is My Name."

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
