On this week’s episode of Currently, Christal Frost is joined by Traverse City Ticker’s Beth Milligan and 9&10 News anchor Bill Froehlich for a fast-paced roundup of top local and statewide stories.

​This episode is brought to you by lead underwriter Golden-Fowler Home Furnishings: Home Fashion Elevated, located on S. Garfield Avenue in Traverse City. Support also comes from West Shore Bank – committed to the well-being of the community, and The Coin Slot Arcade Bar – a chill hangout in Traverse City featuring a full bar, pinball machines, and a great selection of drinks.

Beth kicks things off with a look at the long-awaited future of the former Sugarloaf Resort property in Leelanau County, plus updates from Traverse City’s latest City Commission meeting—including discussions on infrastructure, housing, and more. Later, Bill brings news from Lansing, where lawmakers have once again delayed finalizing the state’s education budget. Plus, Christal and Bill reflect on a tragic small plane crash in Kent County that claimed the lives of two Northern Michigan men.
