Justice Elizabeth Clement: Conscience over consequences
Justice Elizabeth Clement: Conscience over consequences
Bill Ballenger and Dennis Denno, veterans of Michigan politics, discuss pressing issues on "The Friday Morning Podcast," sponsored by Deadline Detroit:
- Legislators may enact two proposals that would otherwise head for the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
- The state conventions of the two major parties last weekend were relatively uneventful. The Democrats' was too long and the Republicans aren't happy about Beth Clement, one of their Supreme Court nominees, running for re-election because of her decision to place the gerrymandering issue on the ballot.
- A federal judge orders a "No-Party" candidate Christopher Graveline for attorney general on the ballot, even though state law says he didn't file enough signatures.
- Doug Pratt of the Michigan Education Association explains why Michigan's public school teachers aren't hurt as badly by the state's new Right to Work law as many think.
