Downtown Bloomington restaurants can now apply for new three-way alcohol permits priced at $25,000. Applications opened November 6 and run through November 30. The permits, made available under Ordinance 2026-18, cover the Downtown Redevelopment District and the Courthouse Square Historic District. They allow service of beer, wine, and liquor. Unlike the traditional quota permits that have traded as high as $250,000, these district permits cannot be sold or transferred and must be returned to the state when a business stops using them. The fee itself is set by the state. Details appear in the [Herald-Times](https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2026/11/09/bloomington-alcohol-permit-applications-open-downtown-businesses-indiana/92641851007/) and the city’s own announcement.

Indiana voters cast ballots on November 3, 2026. Democrats broke the Republican supermajority in the Indiana House of Representatives for the first time in 14 years. In the eight southern counties covered by the Mr.Newz network the results were more mixed, with one clear flip and several Republican holds. House District 62 covers all of Brown County and portions of Monroe and Jackson counties. Democrat Amy Huffman Oliver defeated Republican incumbent Dave Hall. Oliver received about 59 percent of the vote to Hall’s 41 percent. The seat had been held by Republicans in recent cycles. Oliver becomes the first Democrat to represent the district since 2010. House District 61 covers most of Bloomington and surrounding areas in Monroe County. Democrat Matt Pierce ran unopposed and retained the seat he has held since 2002. House District 46 includes western portions of Monroe County,…

They said yes. Then they charged you for saying yes. That is the practice now sitting in front of a Monroe County judge, wrapped in an $800,000 settlement fund and a denial of wrongdoing that has not gotten thinner with age. IU Credit Union authorized debit-card purchases on accounts that had the money. When the charges settled later, the credit union treated them as overdrafts and kept the fee. Members are getting the notice this month. The credit union is still saying it did nothing improper. The state’s highest court already told the credit union it could not hide the case in arbitration. ## The $4.31 that cost $30 On October 3, 2018, Tonia Land swiped her debit card for $4.31.

Lawrence County’s roughly dozen Dollar General stores serve a population of about 45,600, equating to approximately 21–22 locations per 80,000 residents. That figure is roughly double Indiana’s statewide average of about 10 stores per 100,000 (or roughly 8 per 80,000), placing the county among the denser markets for the chain in the state. The stores sit in the disposable merchandise market a high-volume, low-price segment focused on consumables, household basics, and limited-shelf-life goods rather than fresh produce or durable items. Dollar General’s small-box format is built for frequent, modest trips, which is why the company clusters locations in rural counties like Lawrence where larger full-service grocers are thinner on the ground. Workers and public records have repeatedly described the stores as chronically understaffed. Lean schedules that leave one or two employees c…
