Southfield (CBS Detroit) - State Sen. Peter Lucido and former Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Mary Chrzanowski -- who are hoping to become the next Macomb County Prosecutor in the Nov. 3 election – appear on "Michigan Matters" to talk about the issues, the region and the race.

The candidates appear with Senior Producer/Host Carol Cain and discuss how they would restore confidence in the office which was rocked by controversy following the resignation of former Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith earlier this year.

Both candidates offer interesting – if not colorful -- assessments of each other as well.
