The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit
An Update from the Mackinac Conference, and We Also Break Down the Lions Latest Loss
Show Notes

Today, Craig has a two guest show...first, a conversation with Nancy Kaffer of the Detroit Free Press, who is attending this year's Mackinac Conference Policy hosted by the Detroit Regional Chamber.    The annual conference brings together Michigan's leaders in politics, business, non-profits, and the media for what the Chamber claims is a rare opportunity to share ideas, network, make deals, and come up with solutions to Michigan's problems.   
The two discussed the main theme of this year's conference, "Reimagining a Healthy Michigan".  The two also preview planned speeches from Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  As expected, much of the discussion is about how the state will continue to deal with and recover from the pandemic, and how it might lead to changes in the way we approach everything from public health, jobs, community investment, and equitable development.    

Then, Craig is joined by Pat Batcheller, Morning Anchor at WDET, Detroit Public Radio for their weekly chat about the weekend in Football, especially our struggling Detroit Lions.
