A controversial bill about wetlands was signed into law last week by Gov. Eric Holcomb, to the dismay of environmental activists and over 100 organizations across the state.
Today we talk about why the bill is controversial and find out how it could impact the way state leaders handle issues related to climate change.
We also talk to an expert about how agricultural practices can be improved to better protect the environment in Indiana, and learn how the housing market has been affected by the pandemic.
