A class action lawsuit has been filed against the power company NIPSCO alleging that the company inadequately performed vegetation management in and around power lines and as a consequence of that neglect, Gary suffered more storm damage than it otherwise would have.
NIPSCO is also apparently continuing to bill people while their power is out, and listen to this insanely out of touch statement from NIPSCO’s president, “With respect to customer’s bills, we’ve suspended any kind of disconnection through the next week.” WOW- So you mean to say that when you’ve finally re-connected customers who have been without power since August 11th, you’re going to go right back in and turn their power off for non-payment?!
The trump regime has only approved $5 million of federal assistance for Indiana. The republican governor Mike Braun has only activated 70 National Guard to assist his citizens, while he voluntarily sent 300 Indiana Guardsmen to Washington D.C. in December to assist with the Police State.
The Michigan Chapter of the Black Panthers is providing aid, visit their page, @thepantherzmichiganchapter to see ways you can help.
