On WestSouthwest, a Kalamazoo couple tells us what it means to have  their marriage recognized in Michigan. And the shroud of secrecy over donations in the state's judicial elections. 

  

Gabriel and Jonathan Renteria-Elyea were married in Gabriel's home state of California in 2013.  The Kalamazoo couple tells us what it means to have their marriage recognized in Michigan following last month's Supreme Court ruling. 

Michigan Campaign Finance Network Director Rich Robinson says Michigan has a culture of secrecy surrounding campaign contributions to candidates for Michigan Supreme Court. Robinson discusses the network's latest report on the lack of transparency in judicial campaigns. He tells what, if anything, can be done about it.
