SUMMARY: The Kentucky bourbon industry faces potential 50% EU-imposed tariffs beginning March 31, a consequence of ongoing U.S.-EU trade tensions stemming from 2018 steel and aluminum tariffs. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear highlighted the economic impact, estimating losses of $580-$600 million during the initial tariffs, which were suspended in 2022. U.S. whiskey exports to the EU had surged 32% post-suspension.

SUMMARY: To address the affordable housing crisis in Southern Indiana, defining “affordable” as spending less than 30% of income on housing is essential.
