  1. Hooray for Mayor Fadness who by his actions demonstrates his leadership and concern for the welfare of the many over that of the few. It is refreshing to see a politician with a spine.

  2. Fadness has perhaps the biggest ego in Central IN politics. His strategy of stealing tax base from Indianapolis to fund the runaway bloat of Fishers leaves us poorer as a region. Had state and local government not mandated the closure of businesses, sheltering of residents, and travel restrictions, regulated utilities would have no standing for this request. The irony is that if people of his ilk had let the “free markets” reign and for people to decide on their own how to best protect themselves, this wouldn’t even be an issue. What a hypocrite.

  3. I would love some clarity on what revenue the utilities are missing out on. It would seem to me that if people are using energy, particularly at home during stay-at-home orders, their bills would inherently be higher. Are there a lot of people not paying their bills? What am I missing here?

    1. Factories that are operating at full tilt use a lot of electricity. Likewise shopping malls and office buildings (lights and HVAC). The loss of energy usage in those places is not made up for by people using a little more electricity at home.

  4. Well, I’ll be darned. Fadness peeked out from under his blinders to see the greed and unfairness of the Utility companies. How does the IURC represent the little guy here against the big greedy guys? I will tell you right now IURC
    will do nothing.
