Budget officials in Lansing met today to take a look at the state's finances.
On today's show, we have an update on the state's proverbial bank account and what it means for you.
And, then, if you were living in Michigan in the summer of 1987 - you probably haven't forgotten the story.
The crash of Northwest Flight 255, after taking off from Detroit Metro Airport, killing two people on the ground and everyone on-board that flight but a four-year old girl.
Now, a new film takes a look at that little girl 25 years later. We spoke with the director of that film.
First on today's show, we talked with a family member of Amir Hekmati. It’s been nearly two years since the young Iranian-American man from Flint was arrested by authorities in Teheran.
Amir Hekmati had traveled to Iran to visit his grandmother. He was seized and thrown into prison accused of being a spy for the CIA.
He was sentenced to death, although an appellate court later overturned that sentence because there wasn't enough evidence.
But that hasn't resulted in freedom for Amir Hekmati, and his family continues to work tirelessly to press his cause with the State Department and elsewhere.
Amir's sister, Sarah Hekmati, joined us from Washington D.C. today.
