Podcast appearances and mentions of chad livengood

Detroit News politics editor and columnist Chad Livengood sits down with Citizen Research Council's infrastructure analyst Eric Paul Dennis, PE, discussing the Research Council's most recently released, 86-page paper: "Data-Driven Assessment of Michigan's Road Program" which makes the case that Michigan legislators should overhaul the way the state divvies up money for road improvements. The report was released as there is currently a push by state leaders to find billions of dollars in additional infrastructure funding. Among other recommendations, it describes Michigan's primary road funding law, known as Public Act 51 of 1951, as "a decades-long failure." "The bottom line is that PA 51 is obsolete," the report said. "Increasing Michigan's road funding without fundamental reform to how it is spent would be a disservice to citizens of the state." The Detroit News coverage of the research.

During his term, former U.S. President Donald Trump focused on the issue of manufacturing, specifically within the auto industry. Now he's promising more tariffs on foreign made goods and raw materials if he becomes president once again. One of the tariffs that he pursued back in 2018 was requested by a Michigan company, Whirlpool, the maker of various appliances. "Whirlpool had been petitioning the U.S. government for years that that their foreign competitors L.G. and Samsung had been unfairly dumping cheaper made and with cheaper labor, foreign labor, washing machines in the U.S. market and driving down prices to the point that Whirlpool was having a hard time competing anymore," said Chad Livengood, a politics editor for the Detroit News. Livengood wrote an analysis recently about how trade and tariffs have affected Michigan and decodes what the candidates are saying about them this season. He said, while the tariffs helped Whirpool, and created about 1,800 jobs in the U.S., the benefits came at a cost, “The price of washing machines in this country across the board went up 12% in 2018. I mean, there was instant inflation caused by tariffs.” GUEST: Chad Livengood, politics editor at the Detroit News --- Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.

Donald Trump appears to have done what Jeff predicted on this podcast months ago: locked up the nomination for his third attempt to win the national popular vote. But in the process, some new, large chinks in his Mar-A-Lago armor are showing up as some Haley supporters join the never-Trump movement. Trump has already started his annual “the election is stolen” mantra, apparently in anticipation of losing again. Meanwhile, President Biden gets two big boosts to his reelection chances: First: the new numbers about the recession that never was. In fact, the U.S. economy is soaring. Economic growth in 2023 was bigger than in any year of the Trump presidency. Just as important politically: Biden gets a rousing endorsement from the United Auto Workers which could prove critical in Michigan, Wisconsin and maybe even Ohio. We may have a border crisis, but Trump has ordered his supplicants in Congress to sink a bipartisan border bill – because he's more interested in having a campaign issue than a solution.

We're joined by Detroit News politics editor Chad Livengood to talk about the politics of Whitmer's State of the State speech and the prospects of getting her program through the Legislature. Chad was a political reporter in The News' Lansing Bureau from 2012 through 2016 before becoming a reporter and columnist at Crain's Detroit Business.

September 19, 2023 ~ Chad Livengood, Politics Editor & Columnist at the Detroit News, talks with Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie about President Trump planning to visit Metro Detroit to rally UAW workers.

The two biggest liars in politics had an especially bad week. It's 5-million dollars for one of the many crimes of Donald Trump followed by a 13-count felony indictment over the Congressman currently known as George Santos. It was topped off by a truly bizarre hour organized and broadcast by CNN, which called it a Town Hall but in reality should have been labeled a Trump campaign rally. On a much more positive note, Governor Whitmer's sister is running for Congress. Lynn Whitmer Gereghty is running in a suburban New York City district - for the seat held by new Biden buddy Republican Mike Lawson who upset DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney in 2022. And while Congress is in a stalemate over the budget and national debt (threatening an economic disaster), Michigan's legislature is quietly moving forward on enacting Governor Whitmer's budget. Sitting in for the vacationing Jeff Timmer this week is longtime political troublemaker (and this podcast's producer) Walt Sorg. Joining the conversation this week is Chad Livengood, politics editor and a columnist at The Detroit News. Chad was a political reporter in The News' Lansing Bureau from 2012 through 2016 before becoming a reporter and columnist at Crain's Detroit Business.
