Steve Gruber is joined by Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a wide-ranging and hard-hitting discussion. They cover the ongoing cleanup challenges from ice storm damage in northern Michigan and whether state incentives might be used to speed up recovery. The conversation then shifts to a surprising trend, black bears moving deeper into Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Finally, they dig into a controversial story making headlines: a gay couple's adoption of a baby, despite one partner being a convicted sex offender. A candid conversation about safety, oversight, and common sense.
