Deep cuts: school program cuts in Michigan

The World

Hundreds gathered at Michigan’s state capitol in Lansing, Mich., yesterday to protest budget cuts to school programs. To help explain what’s going on right now in Michigan, we’re joined by Craig Fahle from WDET in Detroit, where he hosts the talk show ?Detroit Today.? Also with us is Casey Christensen, a first-grade teacher in Roseville, Mich. It’s part of our week-long series on the impact of state budget cuts.
