Have you noticed new digital price tags at grocery stores? Privacy advocates are concerned they could be the gateway to "surveillance pricing." Grocery chains deny they do it; but they already use our personal data in many other ways. wgntv.com/news/wgn-investiga… @WGNNews

Replying to @NIPSCO
@NIPSCO I get that the August derecho was destructive, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be asking questions about the preparation, infrastructure, staffing, and communication. Why were Gary, Hammond, and Portage missing from the initial restoration estimates? And what is ACTUALLY going to be done differently before the next major storm? We’re heading into winter now. What happens when we get hit with a major snowstorm, ice, or extreme cold and people are left without power again? I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Northwest Indiana residents to want answers NOW instead of waiting until the next disaster happens. We deserve to know what’s being done to prepare. @NIPSCO @EmmyReports @WGNNews
NIPSCO is finally answering questions — weeks after a powerful derecho left thousands of Northwest Indiana residents in the dark. More: wgntv.com/northwest-indiana/…

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
