Tim Skubick and panelists countdown to the first televised gubernatorial debate, and discuss the Bouchard U. S. Senate campaign and more from this week in Michigan politics.
The guest is Donna Stine, deputy director for policy for the Michigan United Conservative Clubs, here to support a ‘yes’ vote on hunting doves.
Donna Stine served 23 years in the state Department of Natural Resources, where she served as the department’s lobbyist and assistant deputy for economic development. In that post she was manager of operations for the state park system. In 1987 Stine received the Special Conservationist of the Year award from the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC). She is now the deputy director of the MUCC in charge of policy, and is here to discuss the dove hunting proposal on the statewide ballot in November.
