Former Michigan Governor John Swainson is an important person and symbol in Judge Michael J. Talbot's life. During his tenure as Chief Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals, Talbot made sure that the portrait of the controversial former judge and governor of the Great Lakes State hung in his chamber for all to see.
Talbot explained why during his in-depth interview with me for this week's Spotlight on the News program. He remembered the good and the bad of Swainson's career and used it to guide his stellar 40-year career on Michigan's judicial benches.
