STATEMENT: Gov. Braun Fights for Hoosier Ratepayers
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Governor Mike Braun and Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor Abby Gray issued the following joint statement today following yesterday's decision by the IURC to approve another rate increase.
"Yesterday's decision by the IURC to allow another rate increase by AES is unacceptable. When I appointed Abby Gray as the ratepayer advocate at the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, I knew she would help me fight for Hoosiers. I am calling on the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor to petition for a reconsideration and rehearing of this case. My priority is improving affordability for Hoosiers." - Governor Mike Braun
"The Governor's support for ratepayers is unprecedented, and I appreciate the opportunity to continue the fight for AES customers. My staff will work diligently to make this filing on behalf of ratepayers." - Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor Abby Gray
