Ever wonder why you can’t switch electric companies like you do your phone plan?

Most Hoosiers don’t realize Indiana actually has three different types of electric utilities—and the one you have isn’t something you can easily change.

Here’s the breakdown:
• Investor-Owned Utilities (for-profit, state-regulated)
• Municipal Utilities (owned by your city, community-focused)
• Electric Co-ops (member-owned, not-for-profit)

This system wasn’t randomly chosen—it was built decades ago based on geography, cost, and access. And today, it’s essentially locked in by design.

So can a city switch providers?
Technically yes… but it could cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars and take years of legal battles, and 95% of the time these costs are a responsibility of the customer.

Bottom line:
Your electric bill isn’t just about usage—it’s shaped by history, policy, and infrastructure decisions made long before you.

➡️ In my next video, I’ll break down how federal policy is impacting your electric bill right now—and what that means for your wallet.

Governor Braun has suspended Indiana’s Gasoline Use Tax for 30 days, through May 8, 2026. Here’s what that means for YOU:

👉 The Gasoline Use Tax is basically the 7% sales tax on gas
👉 It’s built into the price you pay at the pump
👉 Right now, that’s about 17.2 cents per gallon

So if you’re filling up a 20-gallon tank, you could save: 💲 $3.44 – $4.60 every time you fuel up across the state, which could mean about $50 million back in taxpayers’ pockets.

So where do those dollars normally go?
🛣 14.3% → Motor Vehicle Highway Account (state & local road funding)
🟡 21.4% → Local Road & Bridge Matching Grant Fund
🚧 64.3% → State Highway Fund (INDOT)

This is how your tax dollars move—and when relief is provided, it matters. Because every dollar back in your pocket is one you can use for your family, your needs, and your priorities.

If we’re going to talk about rising utility costs, we have to start with understanding the system behind them.

Indiana’s utility structure was established in 1913, creating a centralized, state-level framework to oversee essential services like electricity, gas, and water. That foundation is still in place today.

Over time, that system has been expanded—most notably in 2013 with Senate Enrolled Act 560, which allowed utilities to recover costs more quickly as they invest in infrastructure.

Supporters point to improved reliability and modernization.
Others raise concerns about how quickly costs reach consumers and the level of transparency.

This isn’t about taking sides—it’s about being informed.
Because when we understand the system, we can have more meaningful conversations about the impact it has on our families and communities.

➡️ In my next video, I’ll break down the different types of utility providers in Indiana—and what that means for you.

Early voting for the Indiana primary election starts tomorrow, April 7th. Here are the early voting locations and times for Gibson, Pike, Warrick, and Vanderburgh Counties.

This is one of the ways we take part in something bigger than ourselves by showing up, making our voices heard, and helping shape the future of our community.

If you’ve been thinking about when to vote, now is a great time. Early voting gives you the space to be intentional, informed, and prepared.

I believe serving others well starts with being engaged, and voting is one of the simplest, most meaningful ways we do that.

Take a few minutes, make a plan, and go vote.

Ohio Township - Chandler Fire Territory:

There are real concerns about cost, and they should be acknowledged.
But we are also called to serve, to protect, and to stand in the gap for our communities when it matters most.

I want to take a moment to walk you through the why behind that decision.

** video correction, according to Ed Anderson who serves on the Ohio Township board the presentation data of the 11 minute response time for Chandler was incorrect. It was corrected at the public hearing that it is a 7 minute response time. Thanks Ed.

Policy explained—so you can decide for yourself.

Understanding what’s happening in state and local government shouldn’t be out of reach. As a public servant, I believe you deserve access to clear, accurate information about the decisions that impact your daily life.

I’m starting a weekly series to walk through issues lso you can better understand not just what’s happening, but why it matters.
My goal is to equip you with the knowledge to ask informed questions, think critically, and come to your own conclusions.

I welcome, respectful, thoughtful dialogue.





Wishing you a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving 🍁
