Lessenberry on State of the Union, MSU, Gov. Engler, and Line 5

Joint Congress
The White House
President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address last night.

President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address last night. He made references to the auto industry in Michigan and took credit for some jobs moving to the region.

Michigan Radio's Morning Edition host Doug Tribou and senior news analyst Jack Lessenberry discuss the parts of the speech relevant to Michigan residents.

They also talk about the Michigan State University Board of Trustees' choice to name Gov. John Engler as MSU's interim president, and Gov. Rick Snyder's rejection of a recommendation by his Pipeline Safety Advisory Board. The board urged Gov. Snyder to temporarily shut down Enbridge Energy's pipeline until it can be thoroughly inspected.

Editor's note: Enbridge Energy is a corporate sponsor of Michigan Radio.

Doug Tribou joined the Michigan Public staff as the host of Morning Edition in 2016. Doug first moved to Michigan in 2015 when he was awarded a Knight-Wallace journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
