Scott Co. Ends Needle Exchange, Dredging Lake Lemon | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Scott County officials voted to end a needle exchange program created six years ago to combat an HIV outbreak. While HIV cases are at their lowest in years, proponents argue now is not the time to end the program.

Indiana University is still requiring vaccinations for all student, staff and faculty this fall, but they will no longer require submitted proof. The policy change comes after blowback from the state’s GOP legislators.

And, the DNR has approved plans to dredge Lake Lemon. The 70-year-old man-made lake has lost nearly 200 acres over the years to sedimentation.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, right now on  Indiana Newsdesk.
