The results are in for the highly anticipated state Senate special election in the Saginaw Bay region. Tuesday’s race garnered national attention as the balance of power in the Senate was up for grabs.
The race is also viewed as a key bell weather for the upcoming November midterms and temperature check on Michigan voters for what is going to be a big election year in state politics.
WCMU News Director Rick Brewer breaks down the results and what they mean for the legislature now that Democrats were able to maintain their slim majority.
Also on the show, a metro-Detroit businesswoman is facing felony charges for allegedly misusing over $1 million in state money.
