Last week, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package into law. What does that mean for Michigan? On today’s episode of the pod, we’ll hear how much money the state is expecting—and how it might be spent. We’ll also talk about what such a massive infusion of cash could do for Michigan’s economy.  

GUESTS:

Melissa Nann Burke, Washington correspondent for the Detroit News

Charley Ballard, economics professor at Michigan State University
