Mike Braun: “Sadly, we lack the political will to do anything about it.”

My heart is with the families and loved ones of the five Hoosiers we have lost and every family whose life has been changed by these storms.

Next step would be (that) we’ll find a replacement for Andy, and nothing else to announce there other than I was disappointed that he didn’t take on affordability and holding utilities accountable.

NIPSCO is a monopoly utility that Hoosiers pay every month with the expectation that it will use its considerable resources to maintain its system, prepare for severe weather and restore service as quickly as possible when disaster strikes.

If granted, this declaration will mean significantly more resources to accelerate Indiana’s recovery from the recent severe weather.
