MIRS Monday, Aug. 6, 2018

Republican Attorney General candidate Tonya Schuitmaker says she's ready to have more debates with convention opponent Tom Leonard, but he's not eager to sign up. Hear what Schuitmaker says about that, her view on abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned, presumed Democratic AG nominee Dana Nessel and her interest level in being the GOP's Lieutenant Governor nominee.

Also, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is not a Johnny Come Lately to the PFAS issue, according to spokesperson Scott Dean, who defends the department's handling of this emerging water contaminate and puts Michigan among the leading states in responding to it.

Finally, the MIRS team runs down their favorite primary campaign ads and talks about the nastiest primaries this election cycle -- the 24th Senate District, the 51st House District and the Macomb County Clerk's race.
