Michigan Senator Stephanie Chang and a group of collaborators came up with a plan to fund delinquent water bills and offer more affordable costs to low income households.

GUESTS:

Stephanie Chang,  Michigan Senator representing the 3rd district

Gary Brown, director of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department

Jim Nash, Oakland County's Water Resources commissioner
