Bloomington residents Hugh Ferrell and Gina "Tiga" Wertz are expected to stand trial soon for charges associated with protests of the Interstate 69 expansion project. Both Ferrell and Wertz will be charged with two counts of intimidation, two counts conversion, and one felony count of corrupt business influence, also known as racketeering, which adds up to about twelve years prison time for each activist. Friend and fellow anti-I-69 activist Michael Luurtsema joins us in the studio to discuss the case.
