Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers have gotten the COVID-19 vaccination with many more waiting their turn. Ahead, the latest on who can sign up now, and the state’s timeline for opening up eligibility to more groups.

Just about a week after the city removed a homeless camp from a Bloomington park, volunteers mobilized to open a new shelter and get people out of the cold. Ahead we ask what’s next and whether the city’s mayor will be involved in trying to find solutions to the problem of homelessness.

The Libertarians had a strong showing in Indiana in November. Coming up how the party is working to capitalize on that momentum.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
