Northern Michigan has some enormous state House districts. The 104th District, for example, is 1,700 square miles. We find out how candidates cover that ground — and talk to them about the pressing issues they see, as they run for a seat in the Michigan Legislature.

Also, the Grand Traverse County Treasurer has another rough meeting with the county commission, and there's been an upgrade at the Go-Go Squeez factory in Grawn.
