Regionally Speaking, Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Today:   We revisit our conversation with Purdue University Northwest Chancellor Thomas Keon, on the Hammond and Westville campus unification effort that earned PNW an Innovator award from the Society  of Innovators of Northwest Indiana.

WalletHub.com analyst Jill Gonzalez talks about where Indiana stands on the latest Best and Worst State Taxpayer Return On Investment list.  It's about halfway in the pack, so to speak, of U.S. states' governments and how efficient they are on spending tax revenues.

And Lakeshore Public Radio's Steven Lattimore attended a recent "job fair" held by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that could offer some new careers for some East Chicago residents, as the lead and arsenic cleanup efforts continue.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
