密歇根新闻广播 州长斯奈德结束了民主党司法部长候选人的提名

 

Governor Snyder has decided¹ the water in Flint is safe enough to end bottled water distribution, although the state will continue to distribute water filters to residents.

The Democrats² are also holding an endorsement³ convention this weekend in Detroit. The most hotly contested race is for attorney general. Three Democrats – Pat Miles, Dana Nessel, and William Noakes – are running for the party nomination⁵.

Ken⁴ Sikkema, senior policy fellow with Public Sector⁶ Consultants⁷ and the former Republican majority leader in state Senate, and Vicki Barnett, former mayor of Farmington Hills and a former Democratic legislator, joined Stateside to weigh in on the week's political news. They discussed the Flint water bottle situation and whether Attorney General Bill Schuette is likely to intervene and restore water bottle distribution, as well as the increasingly harsh primary races that may divide parties more than unite them.

Listen above.
