WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

Steve Higgs is perhaps best known as the editor of the Bloomington Alternative, a local online journal for news and commentary that has a long-standing partnership with WFHB News. This veteran muckraker has spent decades covering social and environmental justice and the neverending tug-of-war between people and corporations. His new book is called "Twenty Years of Crimes Against Democracy: A Grassroots History of the I-69 NAFTA Highway". It’s a 230-page collection of stories and columns on what Higgs calls the five-billion-dollar boondoggle. In this program Higgs reads from the book and reflects on his many years covering I-69 and other issues as they affect real people and communities.
