Interview with Governor William Milliken

In an excellent, must-listen interview, Jack Lessenberry talks with former Michigan Governor William Milliken. Milliken says even he has learned things about himself by reading Dave Dempsey's William G. Milliken: Michigan's Passionate Moderate. He talks about what he might do as governor and says that we can only hope to solve Michigan's problems by working closely with the auto companies and each other, saying that fighting between the parties and blaming each other is a recipe for failure.

Lessenberry then reflects on Milliken and how he thought government should be an active force which could make a positive contribution to the lives of Michigan's citizens.
