Current State | February 4, 2017

Lansing as a sanctuary city, NIA St. Vincent Catholic Charities Refugee Services, Super Bowl ads, human organ trafficking, 75mph speed limit, Off the Record at 45, nursing mother rooms, NSF grant for STEM degrees.

This week on Current State: A sanctuary city designation for Lansing; Neighbors in Action, with St. Vincent Catholic Charities Refugee Services; previewing the Super Bowl ads; an MSU researcher heads to the Vatican for a summit on human organ trafficking; increasing speed limits to 75 miles per hour; WKAR-TV's "Off the Record" program turns 45; rooms for nursing mothers at MSU; and encouraging STEM degrees.

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.
