On Hand

The Effort to Make Michigan’s State Government More Transparent


Listen Later

When it comes to government transparency and accountability laws, Michigan ranks last out of all states, according to a 2015 report from the Center for Public Integrity. Today on the pod, we’ll talk to two reporters covering the effort to change that by making the executive and legislative branches of state government subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
GUESTS:
Craig Mauger, Detroit News reporter
Emily Lawler, MLive reporter
