A fearless city government bravely takes a tough stand:
Members of the La Porte City Council were unanimous in their opposition to the 7.9 percent rate increase NIPSCO is requesting from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) — and voted to send out a resolution, after only a first reading, to voice it to the governing body in charge.
“I do believe NIPSCO owes this community's customers an explanation,” said Mayor Kathy Chroback before the vote.
You can't put through a large increase for something people have to have and can't get anywhere else! That's our job!
