⚠️9 in 10 Hoosiers are concerned about the rising cost of energy, according to a new poll of likely voters.
Residential electric bills have soared from utility-friendly laws, big profits awarded to shareholders, coal bailouts, utility spending sprees, & sweetheart deals.

❌ Failed disaster response
❌ EVEN more rate hikes
❌ Overcharging customers for decades
❌ Doubling down on coal while we foot the bill
Our NWI communities keep taking hit after hit, and NIPSCO keeps choosing profits over people…

And they are calling this a "minor" source of pollution!
