The MiddleGround Mic

Show Notes

Michigan Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt sits down with Joseph Steagall for an unfiltered conversation about the policies quietly driving up the cost of every new home in Michigan — to the tune of $95,000 in government-mandated costs that most buyers never see on the invoice.

In this episode:

• The housing mandate that added $95,000 to every new Michigan home and who is responsible for it

• Michigan's reading crisis: why 3 out of 5 fourth graders cannot read at grade level and what Nesbitt's plan actually is

• What a Nesbitt governorship would look like in practical terms — not talking points, actual policy

• Where Joseph pushes back and where the centrist case holds up

This is the conversation mainstream media is not having. No party line. No spin. Just the receipts.
