Every Tuesday, Current State takes a closer look at the environment and environmental news in Michigan.

Today we learn about an organization that for more than 20 years has advocated legally for environmental causes. 

The Chicago-based Environmental Law and Policy Center works on a variety of projects in Michigan, including energy efficiency, solar and high-speed rail.

But it also says economic development is one of its priorities.  

Current State's Mark Bashore talks with Margrethe Kearney, director of the new ELPC Michigan office in Grand Rapids.
