Pianist Ya-Ju Chuang

Leelanau County chose a new drain commissioner, a job that comes with a surprising amount of power and responsibility. And what happens now that Benzie County has again rejected a millage?

Also, Amanda Sewell introduces us to a collaborative pianist who is about to be the soloist with an orchestra in a piano concerto — a notable change, if you'll excuse the pun.

Reporting for this episode by Austin Rowlader, Vivian La and Amanda Sewell.
