Description

Norris Howard is in the co-host chair, and we get into some interesting topics on the podcast around Metro Detroit.  The rundown: 01:05 - There are new districts for the Michigan State Legislature in Metro Detroit, focused on the city of Detroit and nearby suburbs. This happened after a legal challenge that black voters weren't properly represented. Norris Howard, who has a political education and reporting background - as well as a native born Detroiter - discusses his thoughts and the shifting of Metro Detroit's demographics. Basically, you need to check your situation because it's very likely your district changed.

Has the ship sailed?
