Bill Ballenger and Dennis Denno, veterans of Michigan politics, discuss these issues in "The Friday Morning Podcast," posted in partnership with Deadline Detroit:
- Will MSU President Simon's resignation be enough to stop the hemorrhaging at MSU?
- Gov. Rick Snyder's last State of the State address was the best he has delivered, but polls say not all his constituents buy that.
- Who deserves blame for last weekend's federal government shutdown and can we expect the same thing again in two weeks?
- Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer calls for new Department of the Great Lakes and Fresh Water. How significant would this be and are there other, better ideas for new agenbcies?
