Attorney Todd Berg from Michigan Auto Law joins me to talk about the impact of the Michigan Court of Appeals ruling last week that part of the massive no-fault auto insurance reform passed in 2019 was deemed unconstitutional.

What about when crash victims who have been getting services since before the 2019 reform - when might they get help? And what about costs, have they gone down for drivers?

Here's an idea: Because of the changing nature of what retail is, the new Gucci store coming to downtown Detroit doesn't have to sell very much directly to be a success. There's been a lot of talk about downtown Detroit's retail situation as some businesses have closed up shop or left. But, it looks like it may be part of a bigger shift nationally and internationally around what retail in downtowns is and what kinds of things activate those spaces.
