Gossipy recap of Lansing Michigan city council meetings. Starting on November 18th, 2024.
At the July 28th City Council meeting the Mayor is raked over the coals for a city lawsuit against local property owners allowing an unhoused encampment, other comment about construction bidding rules, property redevelopment plans, and tenant / landlord rule changes pack less heat – but it was an undeniably charged night at council.
Our special guest is Eric Tans! Eric works as an Environmental Scientist Research Librarian with Michigan State University (MSU), he is a member of the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) board, and is the top scorer for the Brew-ons at the ice cube hockey rink!
Eric’s research on the history of the Red Cedar River is beautifully presented here:
