The State is a daily rundown of the headlines that matter to the East Lansing, MI community.
Hi, and welcome to the state. I'm your host, Rebecca McEvoy. Today's date is 11/18/2025. The forecast predicts that the high will be 35 and the low being 27. With a chance of snow, the state brings you with the stories that matter.
