MIRS Monday, Sept. 1, 2014

It's the unofficial start of General Election campaign. When does the outside money pull the plug on U.S. Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land? Did Gov. Snyder make a mistake not going after Mark Schauer more aggressively months ago? Do the D's have any shot at flipping a Congressional seat?

Plus, Rep. Greg MacMaster talks about running a write-in campaign in the 37th state Senate District. Why is he looking into this? Has he talked to his mother or daughter after both endorsed his opponent in the GOP primary? What did he and Wayne Schmidt say to each other on the House floor? Also, meet MIRS' new reporter, Lauren Gibbons in this week's edition.
