(WWJ) – Michigan, like many places across the country, is dealing with a shortage of teachers.

On a new Daily J podcast, WWJ’s Brian Fisher digs into why the law exists in the first place, what an amendment could mean for the state’s teacher shortage and why the proposed piece of legislation may not be enough on its own.
