The Business News Headlines 27 February 2019
For the second day in a row the Dow lost ground. Why? Oh, my a host of things that are going on and we've got the details. In other business news:
- It's a branding mess that cost Oprah about $58 million;
- J.C. Penny to pull the plug on yet another idea that was to have been a winner;
- Big changes coming to downtown Des Moines soon as the wrecking ball comes back;
- We'll check on what happened on Wall Street and why.
Plus we're talking honey, bees and economics with folks from the Iowa Honey Producers Association that were at the Statehouse today. State Apiarist Andrew Joseph is joined by Kari Kenoyer a hobbyist and Phil Ebert a commercial honey producer at Ebert Honey.
Also today members of the Des Moines Public School (DMPS) Community Legislative Action Team were at the Statehouse on a "Day of Action". I spent some time with DMPS Board of Education Chair Cindy Elsbernd and activist, mom and IT professional Claudia Brown talking about language and how, if we do things right, we've got multi-language workers right here who can make a difference for businesses seeking these types of workers.
