On today’s Stateside, we checked in on a state fund created to compensate people whose vehicles are damaged from driving on Michigan roads. Then, Shatha Najim and Dean Nasreddine discussed the grand opening of Al-Hadiqa, the Arab American National Museum’s Heritage Garden. And we wrapped the show with a discussion of new book chronicles the stories and works of artists across Michigan’s prison system.
