Southfield (CBS Detroit) - It was all hands on deck as the roundtable of Denise Ilitch, Rocky Raczkowski and Charlie Beckham appeared with Host Carol Cain on CBS 62's MICHIGAN MATTERS as they dived in on issues that will impact our region in 2020 including the presidential election, funding of Michigan's crumbling roads and legalizing sports gambling.
