WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

Luz Maria and Carlos Gonzalez welcome Lisa Coffey to talk about preparations for funerals of loved ones and how one should deal with taking the appropriate actions. Hola Bloomington also highlights this week's community events and volunteer opportunities in a segment prepared by Jenny Gibson and Daniel Soto. As always we feature cultural segments produced by Nuevos Horizontes, a program of the University of Illinois Extension, and Latin American news from Radio Bilingue.

Former Mother Hubbard's Cupboard director Libby Yarnelle succumbs to cancer at age twenty-nine; an eighty-foot dive into a local limestone quarry spells death for a Bloomington resident; the Monroe County Voting Systems Advisory Council recommends using paper ballots that would then be digitally scanned, Bloomington’s unemployment rate rose to six percent last month; a state Senate panel amends the House-passed budget bill to more closely resemble Governor Mitch Daniels’ two-year fiscal blueprint, and local lawmaker Vi Simpson criticizes a "continuance" bill that would allow the state to continue to operate if a budget is not passed before the June 30 deadline; the local jail reform group Decarcerate Monroe County will visit the jail Sunday to support dads and sons on Father's Day.
