Brad Williams from the Detroit Regional Chamber joins us to talk about a number of policy and community issues facing Metro Detroit this year — the progress made; and where work still needs to be done.

Some of the topics we hit:

• Retaining and growing industries, including automotive, in Michigan and Metro Detroit
• Attracting top talent and what that takes
• How different generations approach work, including that half of metro Detroiters under 30 have changed jobs in the last two years
• Helping relieve supply chain issues by treating drivers better
• Importance of the Defense industry in Macomb County
• The SMART millage and the importance of supporting it The importance of expanding FAST routes before looking at a bigger transit plan
