City Pulse On the Air, March 29, 2020: Michael McDaniel, Linda Vail, Phil Knight and Matt Grossman

Posted

On this edition of City Pulse On the Air, editor and publisher Berl Schwartz speaks with Michael McDaniel, retired brigadier general of the Michigan National Guard, about the power of governors as they deal with the pandemic, then about his views on the state of preparedness of the federal government in dealing with this crisis.

You may remember McDaniel from his role in Lansing's response to the ice storm of 2013, which saw Mayor Virg Bernero pick him to analyze the oft-criticized performance of the Lansing Board of Water & Light during and after the storm.

Schwartz also interviews Ingham Co. Health Officer Linda Vail about the plan for coronavirus patient care at hospitals, and Phil Knight, the executive director of the Food Bank Council of Michigan, talks about how Michigan's food banks are holding up.

And, finally, Matt Grossman, professor of political science at MSU, returns for his weekly conversation about the democratic presidential primary, which has been disrupted by the pandemic.
