Michigan ecological researchers say that swamps are starting to diminish throughout the state. And the findings are that it's primarily man made.
WCMU's Tina Sawyer reached out to Don Uzarski from Central Michigan University's biology department to learn more about this.
Uzarski leads a wetland-monitoring program through the Institute for Great Lakes Research.
Also on the show, nine men were arrested by ICE in Saginaw Township; a new report details a history of sexual abuse at Interlochen Center for the Arts; Congressman John James and businessman Perry Johnson barnstorm across the state in the final days of the GOP's gubernatorial primary.
