New Legislative Districts, Hoosier National Forest Non-Native Trees | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

New maps for Indiana’s legislative districts were signed into law by the governor this week, but many complain about the lack of transparency in the process. The new maps are expected to only strengthen the GOP’s super majority in the statehouse.

U.S. Forestry personnel are combing through the Hoosier National Forest looking for non-native trees that need to be taken down. But some worry that logging the area will upset a delicate balance.

And we visit with an Indiana University law school professor who has been investigating irregularities into the search process for new president Pamela Whitten.

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