CenterPoint Energy is asking the public to give feedback on their proposed five-year Electric Infrastructure Plan. If approved, utility officials will be able to adjust rates as often as every six months, subject to government approval. CenterPoint officials say the $514 million plan would include transmission line rebuilds, security upgrades, wood pole replacements and additional distribution system upgrades throughout the utility’s southwestern Indiana electric service territory. If you’d like to give feedback, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor is inviting written comments through September 15th. Additionally, a public field hearing will be held on September 13th in Evansville.
Local Indiana State Police troopers will be working overtime this Labor Day weekend. They will be increasing patrols over the holiday weekend to make sure everyone's driving safe. ISP is taking part in Operation CARE (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) and DUIEP (Driving Under the Influence Enforcement Project). Both are federally funded programs that allow troopers to patrol Hoosier highways during the holiday period. According to ISP, the extra efforts will crack down on aggressive, distracted, and impaired drivers, plus drivers and passengers who aren't buckled up. Drivers are reminded to follow all traffic laws, and to dial 911 if they spot an impaired driver.
