INTRO: Last week at the Mackinac Policy Conference the Center For Michigan announced the results of its community conversations. Over the course of a year and a half, 10,000 people around the state at 600 different meetings talked about what kind of state they want and how they can get it. The participants were not paid. They just showed up at scheduled meetings. Former Detroit area community newspaper publisher Phil Power started the Center For Michigan. He calls it a “think and do tank.” Its office is in Ann Arbor. Power says he represents “the radical center” of politics. He spoke with Michigan Now’s Chris McCarus.
