The reality is there's a lot of inequity in our American system. It's been there since our founding. Sure, improvements have been made, but we're nowhere near there yet. And you can see it in our region, too.  Short of a massive federal program to truly begin to level out the metaphorical playing field on a number of levels for African Americans and other groups, to help get wealth into communitie...

Long time listeners might remember the words split property taxes. The idea being - the city of Detroit's tax burden is only second only to New York City. But, I don't know if you've looked around. We don't have the household incomes, the commerce, or the number of people to support that. We were closer to that many decades ago. But no more. So the idea is to change the code to make it so land spe...

Mature trees are more important than ever. Our climate is changing, with Metro Detroit on pace in a best case to feel like northern Arkansas within a lifetime; and worst, Texas. So how do we protect the trees we have? What trees should we be thinking of planting so they survive climate change? We get into all of that and more with Dan Herms, Vice President of Research and Development for The Davey...
