Inflation, Controlled Burn Remediation, Sidewalk Construction | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

The highest inflation in 30 years is hitting consumers in the pocket books, especially with holiday shopping around the corner. Ahead, we talk with an economist about rising prices and the reasons behind it.

The city continues to clean up areas affected by a controlled burn that rained lead-contaminated debris on a core neighborhood. The Bloomington fire chief says there'll be no more practice house burns in the city while he’s in charge.

And Bloomington city planners are proposing a new method for prioritizing sidewalk construction projects to increase accessibility.

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