Tony Conley is a newer content contributor and show host for Michigan Business Network. To kick off his seventy-fifth episode, Tony has a three-segment conversation Michigan's budget surplus, corporate subsidies, and future population loss, drawing on his guest's extensive background in economic reporting and experience with various publications.

He welcomes Scott McClallen reporter and editor for Michigan Capitol Confidential.

Listen to Scott and Tony's conversation by clicking on the PodCast playlist below!

 

In their conversation Tony covered several topics with Scott including:

-What happened to Michigan's $9 Billion budget surplus?

-Since 2023, Michigan has authorized $4.4 billion of select corporate business subsidies. Assuming that money is fungible, what could it have bought Michiganders?

-How large is Michigan's population loss estimated for 2050?

McClallen came to Michigan from Southern Illinois to study economics at Hillsdale College. 

He previously worked for The Center Square for five years covering Michigan’s taxing and spending, electric vehicle subsidies and labor strikes. His work has appeared in RealClearPolitics, the Washington Examiner and the Detroit Metro Times. 

Raising goats, horses and chickens, he grew up on a farm, and now lives in Metro Detroit with his wife and dog.

Media Business, hosted by Tony Conley. As a media veteran with more than 25 years of working experience working in television, radio, print, and social media platforms, Tony and his guests will explore the business of the media. Does the media care about journalistic integrity, proper reporting, making profits, telling all sides of every story? Is the media now an opinion based entity focused on its own agenda and do they favor sides? How does the media influence business and how does business influence the media? What are the solutions to the frenzy of Media Madness? Media Business will present all sides of these stories and let you decide.
