Here and Now for Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Date: 04/30/2008 Food and gas prices are soaring, foreclosures continue, and the Bush Administration says it is bringing back the 1-year treasury bill...another sign of an economy in trouble.

Mary Angela Miller is with Ohio State Medical Center and oversees the food service at the facility. Not only has food gone up, but the cost of many of her 'disposables' has increased too. Sam Calagione is president of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware and he says he's competing with Chinese buyers willing to pay top dollar for hops grown in the Northwest. Bob Hingtgen is director of transportation for the Western Dubuque County Community School District in Iowa. Mr Hingtgen says his gas costs are up $50,000 this year — enough to pay for two teachers. And finally, Robert Betts, City Manager of East St Louis, Illinois, joins us to talk about potholes.
