District judges want Gov. Snyder to drop his opposition to bills that would get rid of so-called driver responsibility fees. They say the fees are ruining people's lives because they lose their driver's license if they can't afford to pay them. This Week in Review, Weekend Edition host Rebecca Kruth and senior news analyst Jack Lessenberry talk about why Gov. Snyder is concerned about the bills.

They also talk about a state lawmaker who's facing questions over why he used thousands of dollars in campaign funds to pay his personal credit card, the state Supreme Court vacancy that Gov. Snyder will soon fill, and which races to watch as voters head to the polls on Tuesday.

Rebecca Kruth is the host of All Things Considered at Michigan Public. She also co-hosts Michigan Public's weekly language podcast That’s What They Say with English professor Anne Curzan.
