It's Wednesday - which means it's the day we speak with Michigan Radio's Political Analyst Jack Lessenberry about what's going on in state politics. And, in today's conversation, it's all about the possibility of Detroit coming under a state-appointed emergency manager. We take a look at where things stand in the city's financial review, what a group that wants to repeal the emergency manager law is up to, and we also chat about the letter that Congressman John Conyers' sent to the U.S. Justice Department that is asking Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the constitutionality of the emergency manager law.

Zoe Clark is Michigan Public's Political Director. In this role, Clark guides coverage of the state Capitol, elections, and policy debates.
