Shelli Yoder returns to The 812, now as the Indiana Senate minority leader (a title she got unexpectedly the day after she was last here in December). Whatever plans she mentioned then for this legislative session were upended by the behemoth changes wrought by Senate Bill 1. Localities around the state are still reeling from the impact of the tax cuts in SB1; we talk about how it will affect Bloomington, Monroe County, and the school corporations. Sen. Yoder also talks about the state's new work requirements in Medicaid, and the looming threat of universal choice vouchers to public school systems in the state.

This is our last episode for Season 3 which began in January. The 812's schedule roughly follows that of the Bloomington City Council, which just had its last meeting Wednesday, June 4, before its summer recess. The show will resume with Season 4 in mid-July, after Council resumes its regular sessions.
