A crucial step toward closing a controversial youth prison gets the green light. Republicans provide a blueprint for their 2023 priorities. A new broadband map has some questioning its accuracy. And students speak out on their campus ceasing in-person classes.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” the Department of Corrections responds to persistent challenges for Lincoln Hills. A Republican leader sets sights on big tax cuts in 2023. The state challenges a federal broadband map and the big impact of a small campus closing to in-person classes. It’s “Here & Now” for December 16.
