Cong. Mike Bishop visits WKAR's Studio S to talk with Current State host Mark Bashore

Mid-Michigan Republican Cong. Mike Bishop voted for Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House. Current State talks with Lansing and East Lansing’s Representative in Congress why and about his votes against the House budget that will become law.

It’s been exceptionally busy lately on Capitol Hill. In the space of less than two weeks, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a two-year federal budget, elected a new Speaker and passed a $300-billion measure to improve the nation’s roads and bridges.

Current State talks about these and other issues with Michigan’s 8th district Republican Congressman Mike Bishop.
