Tonight At 6 On ‘Indiana Newsdesk’

Coming up on Indiana Newsdesk:

The 2017 legislative session is underway and lawmakers have a busy budget year ahead. We'll speak with Statehouse reporter Brandon Smith about what we can expect to see debated, and how a new governor could affect the session.

We look at the state of downtowns throughout Indiana, starting in Loogootee where a fire reduced several businesses to rubble around 2 years ago. We'll tell you where those businesses are now and what residents hope could be next for their downtown.

Plus young farmers are facing tough challenges. We'll tell you why some farmers find the difficult lifestyle is worth the work and why some young professionals are finding other jobs in agriculture.

And dashing through the snow! It's over the hill we go... on a toboggan ride that is having a record breaking year.

Those stories plus the latest news headlines from across the state at 6 p.m. tonight on Indiana Newsdesk.
