The board approved the transfer to the LIRF fund unanimously.
Next, the Board discussed a policy proposal for paid parental leave. Director of Human Resources Becky Throckmorton, spoke to the board about the policy.

Feature Report:
This is Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We look into Indiana’s wetlands, and the wetlands we have right here in Monroe County. Our deep dive is prompted by the legislation Indiana has passed to decrease the protection of wetlands, and environmental concerns that have arisen as a result.
Up next, “A Couple of Nasty Ones” on Better Beware – your weekly consumer-watchdog segment on WFHB. We turn to host and producer Richard Fish for more.
