Longtime KDNK DJ Michael Francisco was dropped to the floor and arrested at City Market in Carbondale on Christmas Eve 2020. All charges were later dropped. Now he's suing City Market and the Kroger Corporation for racial discrimination.

KDNK's News Director Morgan Neely has Wednesday's news, including longtime KDNK DJ Michael Francisco filing a racial discrimination suit against City Market and the Kroger Corporation for his arrest at the Carbondale grocer on Christmas Eve 2020. And, representatives of the Ute Mountain Utes want their 20,000 acre ranch near Gunnison designated as a reservation, while the Northwestern Band of the Shoshonee in Southeastern Idaho is changing the legacy of a tract of land that hides a fateful history. Also, construction of a Bill Gates-funded nuclear plant in Wyoming is being delayed by a couple years, and isn't likely to begin until 2030.
