Good morning, Lafayette.

In West Lafayette, the public library has reduced its Hoopla checkouts and reallocated funds after state lawmakers cut property taxes—changes that have lost guaranteed construction funds and forced the library to cover the gap out of operating funds.

Director Mara Honeywell said the library maintains its hours and programs despite a 60% cut in state funding and rising costs for essential services.

Tippecanoe County commissioners extended the ban on high-volume water exports until September 2026—aiming to protect local water supplies after plans to pump 10 million gallons daily for an industrial project were scrapped.

County officials said the moratorium will remain even though a new state law gives priority to state rules.

A local video profiles the five top Lafayette area football players from Week 2 and asks fans to vote for the best performer—each player is highlighted for key plays.
