    Michigan's House of Representatives voted Wednesday evening to repeal the state's Right to Work law, passed by Republicans in 20-13 during former Governor Rick Snyder's administration. If it passes the Senate and Governor Gretchen Whitmer approves it, the measure will restore labor union's rights to charge dues to people they represent. Democrats say it restores the right to union representation. Republicans say it would stifle competition and suffocate economic development.

    Police have made an arrest in the death of a security guard at a downtown South Bend parking garage. 62 year old Robert Pulliam was shot and killed in the Wayne Street garage Sunday night, but a picture of a license plate on his phone helped lead police to 33-year old Derrick Pratcher in Michigan, where he was arrested Monday.

    A rare sight in Washington Monday, as leading Democratic and Republican Senators both took aim at Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell's warning that interest rates will have to go higher to check inflation.

Powell's response, in a nutshell: inflation hurts everybody, not just those who lose jobs, and it has to be dealt with.
