Current State #814 | August 16, 2016

Today on Current State: Lansing police chief Mike Yankowski discusses the November ballot proposal to renew the city's public safety millage; Lansing City Pulse publisher Berl Schwartz on 15 years of publishing the weekly newspaper; the factors driving water usage in Michigan; and Michigan's World War I history.

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.
