The calls for marijuana legalization have increased as more Republicans push legislation.

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Marijuana remains illegal in Indiana, which means Hoosiers are increasingly crossing into Michigan and Illinois to purchase their THC products. More on several bills in the statehouse this session pushing for legalization.

More and more, rural families are having trouble putting food on the table, and food banks are doing what they can. But food banks can’t solve the issue of hunger on their own.

And we take a look at some of the bills currently making their way through the General Assembly.
