It's officially construction cone season in Michigan.  The Governor says a bipartisan road funding deal will soon be reached. But the state Senate has some budget concerns, wanting to avoid "one time gimmicks" when it comes to bankrolling infrastructure.  MIRS sits down with Matthew Resch, the president of Lansing-based Resch Strategies, and Brad Williams of the Detroit Regional Chamber to hear their thoughts on the developing policy debate (6:08).  Also, should physician assistants in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Tennessee be able to practice in Michigan through a shared licensure network, without paying the state's separate fees? Thadd Gormas of the Michigan Academy of Physician Associates explains why his group wants the state to enter the PA Licensure Compact (28:17).

Originally uploaded June 11, re-edited September 5. Chris Holman welcomes Dwan Dandridge, Chief Executive Officer · Black Leaders Detroit, Detroit, MI. Dwan was among the interesting guests that MBN didn't catch up with while conducting 50 interviews at this year's Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island at the Grand Hotel. Chris had several topics he wanted to find out from Dwan in this conversation: What is Black Leaders Detroit? Are black entrepreneurs still facing disparities in accessing capital? How much support have we provided for black entrepreneurs? Who is our ideal member? Where does our funding come from? How can someone become a member? Leading up to #MPC24 Dwan was among a group of people that were riding their bikes 377 miles throughout Michigan to raise money and awareness about Black entrepreneurs. Dwan Dandridge led the effort. “To figure out what does it look like to really be a good neighbor to other people in this great state of Michigan,” Dandridge said. “We're finding that once we get in front of each other, sit down and have a conversation, we find out that we have way more in common and we're looking for ways to make sure that we're intentionally working together.” Dandridge said the bikers met with groups along the way in various cities to talk about equity, race, and how to move past barriers which often lead to division. Dandridge then attended the Mackinac Policy Conference. For more on his interaction with the Detroit Regional Chamber over the past few years go to: https://www.detroitchamber.com/?s=Dandridge About Black Leaders Detroit: AN EQUITABLE SOLUTION FOR DETROIT In Detroit, 80% of the population are of African descent, but only a chosen few have been funded to lead the city's “comeback.” Black Leaders Detroit will change that by challenging 1 million people to give at least $1/week to elevate changemakers of African descent in the city.​ Fully aware that Detroiters of African descent have never lacked creativity, viable economic strategies, entrepreneurial zeal, or innovative business models, Black Leaders Detroit aims to diminish the disparities by providing the one thing that has been lacking: financial support.

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Brian Shoaf, Director, Government Relations Director, Detroit Regional Chamber, Detroit, MI Discussing the federal proposal to terminate agreement between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico: There were several questions raised regarding Delta Air Lines & Aeromexico agreement at risk: Brian Shoaf, Government Relations Director with the Detroit Regional Chamber is here to talk today about a federal proposal involving Delta Airlines and Aeromexico that would impact the Michigan business community and consumers. The federal department action would disrupt seamless leisure and business travel between the U.S. and Mexico and would harm Michigan's economy. Welcome Brian. Tell us about the federal proposal to terminate a partnership between the two airlines and why the Detroit Chamber thinks the decision should be reconsidered? Brian: A federal proposal to terminate a vital partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico would put local flights and jobs in jeopardy. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed the termination of the Joint Cooperation Agreement (JCA) between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico in January 2024 without any prior notice due to unrelated change's to Mexico's aviation policy. The administration's decision is drastic, punitive, counterproductive and unprecedented. A final decision is expected this fall. This proposed action is troubling for Metro Detroit businesses and will also concern consumers once they become aware of it. 45 million-plus travelers have benefitted from this strategic partnership. Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico have operated 264,000-plus flights and flown 386 million miles, equalizing 15,500 trips around the world. Brian, Tell us more about this agreement? Brian: Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico's successful strategic partnership was approved by the DOT in 2016. This partnership has created and supported thousands of jobs in both countries, US and Mexico, and has led to a substantial increase in service and consumer choice between the U.S. and Mexico. What is the impact of this proposal on the Delta and Aeromexico partnership Brian? Brian: The termination of this partnership would put up to 23 flight routes between the US and Mexico at risk of cancelation, including 5 that go in and out of Detroit Metro Airport. In 2023, these 5 routes served more than 440,000 passengers. The cancelation of these important flight routes would decrease market competition. Many Michigan businesses benefit from this strategic partnership, including the Detroit Three automakers? Brian: Yes. These flights are now essential components of their businesses and allow product purchasers and plant managers to travel between the two essential hubs in less than five hours. Eliminating these direct flights will lead to less efficient travel, resulting in lost production time and quality of our products. This partnership provides direct flights to the Detroit three automakers' manufacturing plants in Mexico. These direct routes have become essential components of the assembly line, allowing product purchasers and plant managers to freely travel between the two hubs in less than 5 hours. How does this partnership between the two airlines impact tourism? Brian: Estimates show that around half a million Mexican tourists visited Michigan in 2023, beach towns and small businesses depend on strong summer tourism months. The loss of direct flights between DTW and Mexico will serve as a significant barrier for prospective Michigan tourists costing Michigan $1,500 per visitor. What is the bottom line here Brian? Brian: When this decision comes to fruition, no other airline will be able to fill the void that Delta's hub capacity at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) currently occupies. The DOT should consider the economic impacts that will result from fewer flights out of DTW and let the partnership stand.

It's been a busy week up at the 2024 Mackinac Policy Conference, put on by the Detroit Regional Chamber. But what are some of the things happening that could impact you? State Representative Mike McFall of the 8th District stopped by and talked about what's moving through Landing and made the Governor's proposed budget. We'll dive into the latest policy discussions and legislative efforts impacting Metro Detroit and beyond. In this episode, we cover: Redistricting Changes: Representative McFall discusses the recent redistricting that will see him campaigning for House District 14, which includes parts of Madison Heights, Hazel Park, and Warren. Learn how these changes are reshaping local representation. Public Transit Initiatives: McFall, co-chair of the Public Transit Caucus, shares insights on the new bill package aimed at expanding public transit, affordable housing, and placemaking efforts across Michigan. Discover how $2 billion over ten years could transform the state's transit landscape. Affordable Housing Crisis: Addressing the housing shortage, McFall talks about initiatives to create consistent funding for affordable housing, targeting the "missing middle" and ensuring more Michiganders can find affordable places to live. Retirement Savings Legislation: Learn about the "MI Secure Retirement" bill, which aims to provide retirement savings options for Michigan workers, particularly those employed by small businesses, to help them avoid financial hardship in their later years (and save the state taxpayers money in the long run). Future Prospects: McFall shares his vision for the next year, hoping for the successful passage of critical legislation and a statewide focus on housing and transit issues that have traditionally been seen as regional concerns. I hope you find this an insightful episode on the policy efforts shaping the future of Metro Detroit and Michigan.

Clearly the guilty verdict on 34 felony counts is our #1 topic, but there are other talk-worthy stories in our political biosphere: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito refuses to follow the ethical standards demanded of all federal judges except him and his colleagues. Flags or no flags, he's not recusing from January 6-related cases because it's all about his stubborn wife and has nothing to do with him. Sure. Chief Justice John Roberts adds to the court's arrogance by declining an invitation from the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee to talk about his court's ethics. The movers and shakers of Michigan business and politics are just now ending their annual policy party on Mackinac Island. We'll review the highlights of a pretty substantive week with Bridge Michigan reporter Lauren Gibbons. Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel hints he'll run for Governor in two years … and then says he won't vote for President Biden. That's not going to help him much with Democratic voters. Tudor Dixon's gift of a half-million-dollars from her losing gubernatorial campaign draws a second look from state regulators. Democrats Plan $100 Million Push on Abortion Rights to Win House Michigan voters losing trust in democracy, education and economy, poll finds  Trump makes sweeping promises to donors on audacious fundraising tour  Opinion | Detroit sues Census Bureau, claiming vast undercount.

Lauren has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case. She grew up in the Lansing area and graduated from Michigan State University, majoring in journalism and history. She lives in Ferndale, and … according to her official biography … her party tricks include Irish dancing and telling friends what political districts they live in without looking.
