With only about 50,000 federal employees, Michigan isn’t going to see an exodus of furloughed workers no matter what happens Tuesday.

"A new report shows almost 70 percent of actively producing oil and gas wells in Michigan are not being inspected as often as the state intends," Jake Neher reports.
