Changes are coming as we mark the start of the New Year. A new presidential administration, Congress, and state Legislature will be sworn in later this month. Democrat Donna Lasinski is the new minority leader in the state House. The 52nd District Representative from Scio Township is the first guest of the New Year on "1st Friday Focus on the Environment." Along with WEMU’s David Fair and Lisa Wozniak of the Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Lasinski discussed the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead in protecting our air, land, and water in a pandemic economy.
Lisa’s career spans over two decades of environmental and conservation advocacy in the political arena. She is a nationally- recognized expert in non-profit growth and management and a leader in Great Lakes protections. Lisa is a three-time graduate from the University of Michigan, with a Bachelors Degree and two ensuing Masters Degrees in Social Work and Education.
Lisa serves a co-host and content partner in 89.1 WEMU's '1st Friday Focus on the Environment.'
