Indiana Local Government Sues over Closing of Utility Hub

LCG, March 13, 2002-Michigan City and LaPorte County have filed suit against Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO), which plans to close five service hubs relevant to the area.

These local governments say that closing the hubs will harm their northern Indiana communities, "Affordable, reliable service for NIPSCO consumers, businesses and industries has taken a back seat to the pursuit of multi-million pay packages for the top executives of that company," said LaPorte County Commission President Marlow Harmon.

NIPSCO announced the closures in January and will begin closing hubs this month, insisting that they will not effect service. Maintenance hubs in Plymouth, LaPorte, Hammond, LaGrange, and Crown Point will be terminated and over 50 employees will be laid off.
