I was talking to some students at Northern Michigan University up there--we've had people pretty much all over the state wherever we can get an audience of even 10 or 15 people or more.

On October 17, Michigan Policy Network spoke to Nancy Moody, who oversees the lobbying efforts of DTE Energy, one of the state's largest utilities. Nancy spoke with us in her office about the legislative process behind the landmark 2008 energy package; how her history as a teacher helps her in her current job; and the problem with term limits, among other things.
