Every Tuesday, Current State discusses the environment.
Today, we take a look back at 2016’s biggest Great Lakes environmental stories with reporter/commentator, Gary Wilson.
Michigan was in the forefront of a number of those stories. The Flint water crisis hit a tipping point, Great Lakes governors voted in a landmark decision to divert Lake Michigan water to Waukesha, Wisconsin and there will be a changing of the Great Lakes guard.
Current State focuses on the environment every Tuesday. Our efforts are supported by Michigan State University’s Knight Center for Environmental Journalism. For more news of the Great Lakes environment, you can check out GreatLakesEcho.org.
