East Lansing Insider: The Scenes Change Again at Council and Downtown

Alice Dreger August 21, 2021August 18, 2023

On this episode of East Lansing Insider, brought to you by ELi in partnership with Impact 89FM, three members of ELi’s government reporting team talk about the latest switches on East Lansing’s City Council, the dismantling of the Albert EL Fresco downtown play space, the sudden disappearance of a law meant to protect student renters, and the consistent reappearance of Mark Meadows who quit City Council but can’t seem to stay away from East Lansing government. Hear Andrew Graham, Heather Brothers, and Alice Dreger cover this and more as they catch you up on the latest East Lansing news.

Check out all ELi’s government recording here.
