In this full episode of Finding the Middle: Local Edition, join Joe from The MiddleGround Mic as he dissects how Lansing’s $81 billion state budget is reshaping roads, education, marijuana policy, and Detroit’s very future.

But that’s not all. We dive deep into Detroit’s crisis zones — poverty, child welfare, crime — and demand answers from those who say “we’ve got the middle covered.”

Then, we pivot to the gridiron. The Detroit Lions are 4–1, riding a wave of momentum. But is their success built on grit or just good timing? We peel back the layers of Dan Campbell’s leadership, roster risks, injuries, and what it means for this season.

⚡ What You’ll Learn

• The untold cuts and concessions behind Lansing’s “bipartisan” budget
• Why roads and education got the spotlight — and who lost out
• How Detroit communities will feel the ripple effects
• The Lions’ identity in the fire — leadership, adaptation, survival
• Why midpoints matter: the only place real change happens
