Reapportionment Battle Shifts to House in Michigan
Center-stage fight over district reapportionment continues as Senator Howarth’s plan to add Wayne County seats advances in the Senate.

Senate boosts several farm and agri cultural funding measures, with House bills for inspection standards and disease eradication scaled up in committee.
