NEWS: After thousands of Hoosiers spent over a week in the dark, Gov. Mike Braun is calling for an investigation into NIPSCO.

Current status: Following a powerful Aug. 11 storm, restoration efforts for over 350K customers are “substantially complete,” per NIPSCO’s website. 

A closer look: Now, Gov. Mike Braun wants the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to examine NIPSCO’s storm prep. Specifically, he wants to know: 1) Whether NIPSCO was properly maintaining vegetation (the subject of a recently filed class-action lawsuit) and 2) if “funding approved by state regulators for infrastructure and reliability improvements was spent as promised.” 🤔
