Michigan Legislative Roundtable

Governor Whitmer has made a bold pledge to bring Michigan’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, but state legislation would add tremendous momentum and authority to help drive that mission forward. So far, though, big climate change legislation has not passed in the Mitten. We invite leading Michigan legislators to discuss where there can be agreement in climate goals and how that can break the logjam that’s preventing passage of the strong climate change laws the state needs. Join us as episode host Charlotte Jameson, Program Director for Legislative Affairs, Energy, Michigan Environmental Council, explores the issue with Representative Joe Bellino (R), Senator Mallory McMorrow (D), Rep. Rachel Hood (D), and Representative Yousef Rabhi (D).
