On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Where's the fire? The growing calls for stronger opposition to President Trump's extreme agenda, after Senate Democrats help pass the Republicans' continuing resolution. I'll discuss the real cost of capitulating to Republicans to keep the government open with Andrew Desiderio, of Punchbowl News, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Nancy Pelosi, Drew Hamill, and economic columnist Heather Long of the Washington Post. Vengeance is his: Trump brings his revenge tour to the Department of Justice, calling out his critics by name and even suggesting they should be jailed. I'll ask Rep. Jamie Raskin why he called Trump's speech a "desecration" of the department's values. And a run for the history books: Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist will talk to me about his bid to be the next governor of Michigan and the first Black person to hold the position, plus how he plans to flip a state that Donald Trump narrowly won. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II has harsh words for the Snyder adminisration's treatment of Flint. He also hints about his future plans in politics.Gilchrist made his remarks and talked about other issues in a previously recorded interview that was aired Saturday on "Detroit in Black and White."Hosts Adolph Mongo, Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and James Nardone also talk with Wayne State University Professor Saeed Khan about the issues facing Israel and the Palestinians. 

On part II of special Black History Month editions of the Talking Michigan Transportation, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist talks about the importance of the project to convert the I-375 depressed freeway to an at-grade boulevard, reconnecting neighborhoods. As a child growing up near those neighborhoods, and hearing the stories of relatives who recalled the razing of black-owned homes and businesses in the name of urban renewal, Gilchrist has personal reasons to be excited about the future, which he's discussed previously.  In September, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joined Gilchrist, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and others to formally award the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) a nearly $105 million Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant to boost the project. Gilchrist also underscores the social and environmental justice components of the I-375 project and how the same principles apply to developing the intermodal facility and rethinking Michigan Avenue.Later, Gilchrist talks about a major economic development announcement this week that he participated in with Gov. Whitmer as Ford Motor Co. unveiled plans for a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall, Michigan.

On special Black History Month editions of the Talking Michigan Transportation, conversations about the Michigan Department of Transportation's project to transform the I-375 freeway into an at-grade urban boulevard, reconnecting neighborhoods to the east with downtown Detroit. In this episode, retired Detroit Free Press reporter and editor Bill McGraw talks about what he learned in his reporting about the history of the Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods on the city's east side. Black business owners and residents were displaced as city administrations dating back to the 1940s pursued an urban renewal plan that included eventual plans for a freeway through the neighborhood. McGraw explains how a once thriving Black business district on Hastings Street, with banks, hospitals, clothing stores, restaurants, and other service providers, was destroyed to make way for development that largely benefitted white developers and residents.  One Detroit Free Press story (paywall) describes in rich detail what was lost: "One of many notable establishments was Sunnie Wilson's sprawling Forest Club, at Forest and Hastings. It featured a 107-foot bar, bowling alley, banquet hall and a two-story roller-skating rink. Beginners went upstairs." Later this week, another podcast episode will feature a conversation with Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, who has strong family connections to the neighborhoods, and he talks about what the project means to him. We'll also talk about a major economic development announcement this week that he participated in with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as Ford Motor Co. unveiled plans for a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall, Michigan.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Trevor Pawl, who recently moved on from his pioneering role as the state's chief mobility officer, reflects on all the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME) accomplished during his tenure and why he thinks more good things are ahead.Pawl talks about why it made sense of him and his family to move on now and what they have planned for the future.He also shares insights on hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, what the future holds and how the U.S. federal government is making moves to catch up with other nations and how Michigan is embracing a clean-energy future as discussed in this video with Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist.Pawl also expounds on Michigan's participation as one of seven Midwestern states teaming up to accelerate the development of hydrogen as a clean energy alternative. The partnership includes Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, whose economies are dominated by agriculture and heavy industry such as steel and automobile manufacturing.Among accomplishments from partners in including OFME, MDOT and other agencies, Pawl touts:Launching a first-state strategy for future mobility, the MI Future Mobility PlanBuilding America's first road custom-built for driverless vehiclesBuilding America's first road that charges an electric vehicle (EV) while it drivesLeading development of a signature EV route around Lake MichiganLed America's first feasibility study for cross-border drone skywaysCreated the Midwest's first airport innovation lab in Grand RapidsDeveloped a first-of-its kind partnership to attract 5,000 tech workers to the Michigan Central innovation district in DetroitCo-led the creation of Michigan's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) plan ($110 million for EV charging)Invested in the first autonomous, electric bus on a university campus

November 1, 2022 ~ Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist checks in with Kevin and Tom a week before the midterm election.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was in Detroit Thursday, Sept. 15, bearing gifts. The secretary joined Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, MDOT Director Paul Ajegba, and others to formally award MDOT a nearly $105 million Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant to convert the recessed I-375 freeway into an urban boulevard, allowing for the reconnection of neighborhoods with the city's central business district as well as cultural and sports venues.This week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast features conversations with Zach Kolodin, director of the Michigan Infrastructure Office established by Gov. Whitmer earlier this year, and Jon Loree, MDOT's I-375 project manager. First, Kolodin talks about his office's role in overseeing all infrastructure, not just that related to transportation, and then shares his perspective on the I-375 announcement. Loree explains the benefits and opportunities the grant will provide for the project and talks about his ongoing work in public involvement with corridor neighbors, business owners and myriad interested parties.The project cost estimate is $270 million, with an additional $30 million anticipated for engineering costs. The INFRA grant will go toward construction and cover more than a third of that.As Gov. Whitmer observed in her remarks, competition for the INFRA grants was fierce, meaning Michigan's selection for the fourth-highest amount of all the awards signals the value the project will provide to the community.With the grant, the project will be able to complete design and begin construction as soon as 2025, at least two years earlier than originally hoped. Work should be completed in 2028. Loree explains how design efforts are beginning and conversations and engagement continue on the future land use and community enhancements.The project is taking an innovative approach to use the value of the excess property from the freeway-to-boulevard conversion for community enhancements to acknowledge and address historic environmental justice effects from the original freeway construction.

Late last week, the U.S. Department of Transportation and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the City of Detroit would receive $25 million in a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity RAISE grant toward a major project to modernize US-12 (Michigan Avenue) in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood. On a new edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist talks about what this means to him as a neighbor of the corridor. Per the grant application:MDOT and the city are collaborating on a project to rebuild a portion of Michigan Avenue to support a safe, innovative, and multimodal travel corridor. The project will re-apportion space in the right of way to accommodate several new and improved multimodal facilities, including:Expanded sidewalks and pedestrian amenities like seating, lighting, and street trees.Raised bike lanes at sidewalk level for areas with existing lanes, new dedicated and buffered bike lanes in downtown, and bike racks.Two dedicated center-running lanes for transit vehicles and for connected and autonomous vehicles. Transit vehicles will have signal priority to limit waiting time.Improved amenities, like concrete transit islands and new shelters.Improved markings and islands for additional/enhanced midblock pedestrian crossings.Two new traffic signals for intersections. Gilchrist talks about how these added benefits will transform the neighborhood and how the project spells good things to come for Corktown, a diverse neighborhood with a rich history.Podcast photo: Michigan Lt.

Classes are wrapping up, final exams are next week and Michigan State University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D. is eagerly anticipating graduation ceremonies for some 9,000 soon-to-be Spartan alumni.  He talks about feeling like a proud father to all the graduates preparing to go out and make the world a better place. And President Stanley congratulates the 179 students who have maintained 4.0 grade point averages in their time at MSU and have now been named Board of Trustees Scholars. “As we prepare to say goodbye to most students for the summer, we're already welcoming new ones for the fall. More than 7,000 prospective students and family members joined us this month to visit colleges and attend the Green and White football game and a Breslin Center pep rally during Admitted Student Day. Admitted students visited from 37 states and 11 countries — as far as India.” Last week we celebrated Earth Day, following a month of events reminding us how MSU has made strong commitments and progress in sustainability through cutting-edge research, experiential learning, community engagement and improved operations.  “Our strategic plan commits us to climate neutrality by 2050 and several more near-term goals through our four-pillar sustainability framework of campus, curriculum, community and culture. Last week we also hosted Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and other special visitors for a roundtable event focused on public/private partnerships supporting Michigan's leadership in electric vehicles and advanced mobility and MSU's great work in this field.” Stanley talks about key leadership changes at MSU. Kim Tobin will become our next vice president for advancement on May 1. Pero G. Dagbovie, who served as an associate dean in the Graduate School and is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of History, was confirmed as associate provost for graduate and postdoctoral studies and dean of the Graduate School. After ably serving the College of Human Medicine as interim dean, Dr. Aron Sousa's appointment as dean was also confirmed by the Board this month. The Board also endorsed the selection of  Christina K. Brogdon for vice president of human resources and chief human resources officer. Starting June 1, she will be a key player in the university's efforts to attract, retain and develop the best people possible to help us pursue the university's mission. “With the appointment of Kim Tobin, this month we say goodbye to Vice President for Advancement Marti Heil, retiring after a 45-year career of accomplishment across three universities. I also want to acknowledge the pending retirement of University Physician David Weismantel May 16. Dr. Weismantel has served MSU with great dedication in a variety of capacities for the past 23 years, including the last challenging couple of years through the COVID-19 pandemic. “I'm thrilled to congratulate a highly accomplished faculty member in our College of Engineering who retires after 57 years and eight months as MSU's longest-serving faculty member. Professor Martin Hawley was appointed as an assistant professor of chemical engineering in 1964 and was a Spartan even before that, earning his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from MSU. “Dr. Hawley has served in numerous key capacities over his tenure, and the college estimates Professor Hawley has educated at least 80% of MSU chemical engineering students. Last year, an alumnus endowed a chair in the college in his honor. Thank you, Professor Hawley! “Congratulations are also in order for Vashti Sawtelle, associate professor of physics in Lyman Briggs College and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. She is among three professors named 2022 Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year by the Michigan Association of State Universities, which represents Michigan's 15 public universities. Dr. Sawtelle is noted for her scholarly focus on inclusivity in teaching of physics and is a wonderful example of MSU faculty members' engagement in the success of all of our students.” President Stanley says great educational programs deserve great facilities. Last week, MSU celebrated the groundbreaking for the School of Packaging's building expansion after a fundraising campaign that raised more than $10 million. This project, with a new endowed professorship, will help the school maintain its leadership in packaging education. Also last week, the university broke ground for its Service Road recreation turf fields, which is our first construction project applying proceeds of the student recreational facility fee. This new facility, which will be ready in the fall, will serve more than 8,500 intramural sport participants, more than 550 club sport participants, plus youth camps, tournaments and other uses, supporting MSU's priority of student health and well-being. And on May 2, years of planning, construction and testing will be capped with the opening of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on our campus. Through FRIB, MSU will build its position as a destination for scientists from around the world, a training ground for the next generation of researchers and a valuable asset for the region's economy. I'm excited to see how FRIB contributes to new scientific discoveries as well as practical applications that improve people's lives. “April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and we are in the final stages of collecting responses to the Know More Campus Survey, which was emailed to campus community members on March 16. If you received the survey link and haven't taken the survey, I strongly urge you to do so to assist those planning MSU's programs of prevention and response.”  MSU Today airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.

This week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast puts a spotlight on the project transforming I-375, a stub freeway built six decades ago, piercing the City of Detroit and displacing whole neighborhoods in the era of urban renewal.  Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Director Paul C. Ajegba, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, and interested parties this week at a roundtable discussion after MDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). This follows thorough documentation and review of public comments, which is the final National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) decision document. The document describes why the I-375 improvement project will not have any significant environmental impacts expected to occur upon implementation of the selected alternative design.  Tony Migaldi of the infrastructure design firm HNTB is managing the project in consultation with MDOT planners and engineers. He joins the podcast to talk about the significance of this week's milestone, the work that brought the project to this point, and what lies ahead. Migaldi talks about the amount of listening that went into the process and the robust engagement with the owners of businesses along the corridor and the residential neighbors. He also discusses excess property that will be freed up with a conversion of a sunken freeway to an at-grade urban boulevard, which will include options for cyclists and pedestrians and connections that were lost to the freeway. This animation offers an idea of what to expect with the finished product. Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, who has some family history in the neighborhoods lost to the freeway, spoke on the podcast previously about what the project could mean to the city and acknowledging mistakes of the past. When work to build I-375 began in 1959, the thriving black neighborhoods of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley were demolished to make way for the freeway. Built through a thriving Hastings Street, the new I-375 opened in 1964 and created a barrier between the central business district in Detroit and the neighborhoods to the east, resulting in decades of underinvestment and a lack of opportunity for the predominantly Black communities on the other side of the freeway.   

Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist is the chair of the Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities, who is released a report today with 14 recommendations to curb disparate health outcomes on racialized communities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has laid bare the systemic inequities that has existed in the state fo Michigan. Gilchrist is the first Black Lieutenant Governor in the state's history. 

Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II joined the Michigan Minds podcast to reflect on his experiences, discuss his path to public service, and highlight the importance of celebrating the enduring power of humanity.Gilchrist, a University of Michigan alumnus, is the first Black man to be elected lieutenant governor in the state of Michigan. He says he feels he has a responsibility to move his experience “from novelty to normalcy” to help others see themselves in similar roles. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Michigan's lieutenant governor explains the state's unprecedented $600 million direct grant for General Motors' EV expansion, discusses the state's readiness for an electric-vehicle influx and describes government efforts to support transportations startups.

A year into the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) initiative to engage the public in naming snowplows across the state, an update on progress. Shortly after MDOT launched the project in 2021, inspired by a plow-naming venture by Transport Scotland, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist visited an elementary school in Benton Harbor where a class of fifth graders named a plow Tiger in honor of their school mascot. Gilchrist visited the school and spoke to the students shortly afterward.  On this week's podcast, Nick Schirripa, MDOT's Southwest Region media relations representative, talks about the project, the eye-popping numbers of submissions it inspired and why it has been a fun but important endeavor. He and Courtney Bates, a department analyst and web site administrator, worked together to create the naming contest, sort through the names and even put the names of plows on the Mi Drive site so they can be tracked in real time. As the Detroit Free Press reported in December, ”One year and more than 15,000 possible plow monikers later, and a handful of Michigan Department of Transportation staffers say they see a light at the end of the tunnel. But the project isn't quite over.” Schirripa talks about the interest this has generated and why it helps with education about what's involved in clearing snow from roads in Michigan winters and how the plow-naming project helps in education efforts about safety.

Garlin Gilchrist tests positive for COVID-19, the Detroit Lions finish their season with a win against the Green Bay Packers and more than 300 MDOT snowplows get fun names submitted by the public.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, conversations with senior Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project manager Jonathan Loree and Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist about some key MDOT projects aimed at enhancing connections for travelers in the city of Detroit. The U.S. Department of Transportation announced on Nov. 22 $1 billion in Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grants, including a grant for the long-planned intermodal facility in the New Center area of Detroit. This would allow for development of new passenger rail and intercity bus facilities in Detroit to accommodate growing ridership projections. The news comes as MDOT continues work on some other key connectivity initiatives in Detroit: ·         A conversion of the I-375 freeway to an urban boulevard with safe access for pedestrians and cyclists; and·         A study to transform Michigan Avenue from I-96 through the historic Corktown neighborhood to Campus Martius Park downtown and allow safer access for other users as well as economic development. Loree explains the projects and his work with City of Detroit officials, business owners and residents.In a second segment, Lt. Gov. Gilchrist talks about growing up in Detroit and how rethinking transportation is aiding Detroit's comeback.

On the latest Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation about the ongoing process to rethink the 1-mile I-375 freeway in Detroit and consider other alternatives. First, Margaret Barondess, manager of the environmental section at the Michigan Department Transportation, talks about the ongoing discussions that could reconnect neighborhoods near downtown Detroit, severed decades ago when I-375 was built. She recounts the history and environmental justice issues shaping the current discussion. Later, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist joins the podcast to offer his perspective on the project as a native of Detroit and someone who spent part of his childhood in the neighborhood previously disrupted by the freeway. While discussions about restoring the I-375 corridor to an urban boulevard date back several years, the conversation has added resonance because U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has put an emphasis on connectivity and rethinking freeways. In the wake of another catastrophic rainstorm that caused flooding across the Detroit area, Barondess explains the history behind building recessed freeways and the benefits: keeping the city street system intact, needing less property for the right of way, and limiting the noise in neighborhoods. During his segment, the lieutenant governor talks about what he learned from his parents and others about the residents and businesses displaced by the freeway in the Blackbottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods. He explains why he's pleased that the Biden administration wants to create equitable communities and restore opportunities for prosperity. He recounts the wealth lost in what was one of the most thriving black business districts in the country.  Other references: The Detroit News (subscription) https://www.detroitnews.com/in-depth/news/local/detroit-city/2021/03/23/interstate-375-detroit-racism-black-bottom-paradise-valley-mdot-aretha-franklin/4715658001/?build=native-web_i_t  https://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/transportation/crossroads/article/Houston-isn-t-only-Texas-city-thinking-about-7987023.php https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/america-highways-inequality/ Podcast photo: Director Ajegba, Mayor Duggan, Lt.
