Dear President Trump, Vice President Vance, Governor Braun, Micha Beckwith, AG Tod Rokita, Senator Jim Banks, Senator Todd Rokita, Representatives of Indiana:
We insist that you open an investigation and finish the audit concerning the transactions of The Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s involvement with LaPorte Indiana shell companies to transfer money overseas into a Cayman Island account only to DISAPPEAR.
We insist that you open an investigation and finish the audit concerning the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s involvement with Medicare-Medicaid-Medical Malpractice laws with Central Indiana Corporate Partnership’s Board of Directors and Initiates are predominately involved with Hoosier Health including Eli Lilly, Community Health Network, and Indiana University Health- an organization under severe scrutiny.
We insist that you open an investigation into Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s involvement with BESS centers across Indiana, Solar/Wind Fields built with Tax dollars to Supply the Data centers across Indiana that appear to be tied to the World Economic Forum and LEAP project in Boone County Indiana where the State of Indiana through IEDC is financing businesses – spending public funds for a private benefit- and building infrastructure that damages the environment, depletes water supplies, and exposes citizens to toxins WITH THEIR OWN MONEY.
We insist that you open an investigation into the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s involvement with the Indiana Association of Regional Councils where Hoosier Funds are distributed to fund organizations involved with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation including Purdue University, Notre Dame, Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District- South Shore, Northern Indiana Regional Planning Commission-its former President Thomas P Dermody who is mayor of LaPorte Indiana-(location of a $500M nonprofit with an IEDC officer Leigh Morris involved) with his Right hand man Bert Cook Executive Director of the Local Economic Development organizations who checked into the location of where Shell Companies are located that transfer money to the Cayman Islands and involved in Kickbacks through election campaigns.
We insist that you open an investigation into the artificial inflation of electricity due to the Non-Profit Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator (MISO) with $3.5 Billion in assets submitting a Tariff request to install the “Reliability Curve” that resulted in a rise in cost from $30 in 2024 to $666.50 in 2025 downgrading Renewable Energy (Solar/Wind) as nearly worthless, MISO’s activity within the Indiana Economic Development Initiatives including JOHN BEAR’s seat on the Energy Systems Network: Mission- Increase Renewable Energy such as solar/wind , and MISO members’ involvement with Data Center owners including NIPSCO-GenCo, Duke Energy, META-Google-Amazon to increase electricity use to benefit MISO and its members through Indiana Economic Development Corp Funds- HOOSIER MONEY- worldwide.
Michigan City data Center is Google. Google – Meta – Amazon are WEF Partners and highly invested with Reliance Industries in India (owns Lithium Werks)
The World Economic Forum Board of Trustees includes the Billionaire owner of Reliance Industries (India).
Reliance Industries (India) partners with Data Center Builders
Reliance Industries owns Lithium Werks imports/exports Lithium Ion Cells from China. Lithium Werks has manufacturing facilities around the world including USA and China.
Let’s “circle back” to understand these Data Centers which are the agenda of the WEF are funded by your tax dollars through the Indiana Economic Development Corp and local Economic Development programs for the WEF agenda.
Happy New Year’s Eve! When your watching that big ball fall for the sky with billions of lights burning brightly, think about the cost of electricity.
John Bear is the President of Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), a NON PROFIT 501c4 with $3,500,000,000 ($3.5 Billion) In assets which is comprised of Utility companies-Electricity. ⚡💡
MISO successfully petitioned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on behalf of utility companies to allow a new method to calculate costs that INCREASES the cost of Electricity: The Reliability curve!
The Reliability curve is based on classifying “Renewable” power generators like solar/wind to be considered unreliable and warrants Increasing the price of electricity. This resulted in the price going from $30 in 2024 to $666.50 in 2025. (See pic 2) Full report found here .
MISO transmission owners are companies such as Ameren, Duke Energy, NIPSCO, AES, and Entergy. MISO is comprised of approximately 54 Utility companies from Wisconsin to Louisiana including Indiana.
MISO’s John Bear sits as President of Energy Services Network (ESN), an organization that dreams up projects to increase the use of electricity. It’s all funded by the Indiana Economic Development Corp (IEDC). (See pic 3 and 4)
MISO, John Bear, campaigns around the world to INCREASE the use of renewables like solar/wind. John Bear is the recent former president of GO15 (see pic 5) who collaborates with other countries such as China. Mr. Bear loves the Climate Change ideology and so does China. Video may be seen here
China depends on the sale of Lithium Ion Cells. Lithium Ion Cells are used in Solar, Data Center Computers, Electric Vehicles etc.
Both Data Centers and BESS centers are guzzlers of Energy. They use lithium ion cells and drink electricity like a professional Drunkard on New Year’s Eve.
These Energy guzzlers just happen to be customers of MISO transmission owners such as NIPSCO and their new UNREGULATED entity GenCo. Better yet, BlackStone recently purchased 20% of NIPSCO. BlackStone is one of the Worlds largest Data Center Owners which means we pay them to build the data centers – we give them tax abatements, tax credits, federal funds- then we pay them for the equipment to generate electricity- then we pay them to build more generators- we pay them through the IEDC- and last but not least: WE PAY THEM MONTHLY OUT OF WAGES LEFT OVER.
NIPSCO is Northwestern Indiana’s gas and electric supplier 20% owned by Blackstone (one of the largest data center builder/energy infrastructure/Developer in the world). They have acquired seats on the board of directors of Economic Development Corporations that dish out tax dollars to themselves.
NIPSCO is on nearly every Economic Development board in the area they cover. Those Economic Development (ED) boards decide who receives billions of tax payer dollars. NIPSCO has an in house Economic Development Dept. with representatives that sit on local and state ED boards.
NIPSCO actively recruits new businesses that guzzle energy equivalent to the size of cities such as Data centers WITH TAX DOLLARS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARDS.
NIPSCO out of Merrillville Indiana spent approximately $141,000 in 2024 lobbying state representatives. Rep. Ed Soliday authored 5 bills in 2024. All 5 made it easier for utilities to increase their profit margin.
NIPSCO files rate requests with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) stating their need to raise rates because of lack of reliable energy, increased demand from industry that they themselves recruited to our neighborhood.
NIPSCO has the ability to sell energy to other areas, including other countries such as Canada – Mexico where rates are higher.
NIPSCO actively builds solar fields with Economic Development funds (tax dollars). The Grid Operator in Indiana has DECLARED solar and wind as unreliable power sources under their new formula for pricing energy i.e. the reason for the price increase from 2024 at $30 to the summer 2025 price of $666.50.
NIPSCO files rate requests with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) stating their need to raise rates because of lack of reliable energy, increased demand from industry that they themselves recruited to our neighborhood.
They are drawing in energy guzzlers with your money, building energy sources that are declared unreliable by the Grid Operator which does nothing to reduce price. They actively lobby key government officials who sympathize with their profit margin to pass laws that tie the hands of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission leaving them no choice but to increase rates. Their employees are controlling the distribution of your tax dollars that increase their bottom dollar!
December 11, 20025 By Data Centers AI ChatGPT with facts provided by Kimberly Mann
Northern Indiana is experiencing a utility crisis fueled by rising electricity costs, inaccessible decision-making, and a pipeline of policy decisions that elevate corporate and utility interests above public welfare. A close review of regulatory filings, legislative texts, grid operator classifications, and utility statements reveals a pattern: NIPSCO and its parent company, NiSource, have positioned themselves at the center of an incentive-driven system that profits while Hoosiers pay more.
Utilities Paid to Generate—and NOT Generate—Electricity
NIPSCO receives compensation both for producing electricity and for not producing it under certain market conditions (PJM and MidContinent Independent System Operator (MISO) market rules, demand response programs). These financial structures allow utilities to profit regardless of customer relief or grid stability.
At the same time, NIPSCO can sell excess electricity—produced with customer-funded infrastructure—to foreign markets for higher profit. Source: NIPSCO public claims on “excess power sales” (NIPSCO.com).
Electricity as a Life-Sustaining Commodity in Indiana
Northern Indiana’s winter climate makes electricity and gas critical to survival. Many residents choose between utilities and food on a monthly basis (Source: Indiana Community Action Poverty Data, 2023)
1. Closed-Door Development Networks Influence Land Use and Energy Demand
NIPSCO sits on local and regional economic development boards that help determine land use, industrial siting, and incentive allocation. These boards often conduct negotiations behind closed doors, outside public oversight.
A major structural shift occurred when a federal judge ruled the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) was not a public agency but a private corporation that is funded with hardworking citizen’s tax dollars ranging in the billions of dollars. Source: Federal District Court ruling, widely reported (2024).
This means billions in taxpayer-funded incentives are administered by a private entity acting without public transparency.
2. Industrial Energy Guzzlers Subsidized by Taxpayers
Large commercial operations are placed on Indiana farmland with monetary support from:
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts
State and federal subsidies
Local tax abatements
Economic development incentive packages
Utility-backed discount programs (EDRs)
These incentives shift costs downward onto residential customers.
Meanwhile, utilities use the arrival of energy-intensive facilities to justify new generation construction—costs that also fall on ratepayers.
3. Renewable Energy Projects Classified as Unreliable by Grid Operators
MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator), the grid operator for Northern Indiana, designated solar, wind, and battery storage as “unreliable/intermittent” resources on the 2024 reliability curve. Source: MISO Reliability-Based Demand Curve (RBDC) briefings, 2024–2025; MISO Resource Adequacy Subcommittee (RASC) update 7/10/2024.
Because of this classification, these renewable projects contribute little to the capacity obligation that determines customer rates—even though they receive enormous subsidies.
Impact: They raise, not lower, long-term cost obligations.
4. House Bill 1007: Guaranteed Utility Profits and Nuclear Development Subsidies
Indiana House Bill 1007 (May 2025), authored by Rep. Ed Soliday, allows utilities to:
Recover 80% of small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) development costs upfront
Recover the remaining 20% even if the reactor is never completed
Charge residential customers for new power plants while also receiving economic development subsidies
Collect ongoing operational costs if the IURC blocks retirement of any generation resource
Sources: Indiana House Bill 1007, 2025 session (legislative text) Public reporting on SMR project failures nationwide (DOE, NRC status updates)
No Small Modular nuclear Reactor facility in the U.S. has been completed.
NIPSCO spent $141,100 on lobbying legislation in topics Energy, Environment, Licensure, Taxation, Utilities in 2024. Source: Indiana Lobby Registration Commission (ILRC) annual filings. Rep. Soliday represents the area where NIPSCO is headquartered (Merrillville) and serves on the Committee on Utilities, Energy, and Telecommunications. All 5 of the 5 bills authored by Rep. Ed Soliday involved Energy generation, carbon sequestration, Quantum research (data centers) tax incentives, Expedited approval of electric transmission and generation projects. Others Co Sponsored and Sponsored included but not limited to Water, Wastewater, IURC matters, Nuclear reactor development costs, energy production zones, water utilities, and construction of data centers. Source: https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2025/legislators/legislator_edmond_soliday_864
5. Capacity Cost Explosion: $30 → $666.50
MISO’s first-ever application of the Reliability-Based Demand Curve (RBDC) that qualifies Solar/Wind as unreliable triggered a record capacity price spike:
This represents a 2,122% increase, the highest in regional history.
Despite billions in renewable investments, capacity costs still rose because MISO classified renewables as unreliable.
6. NIPSCO’s Internal Economic Development Network
NIPSCO divides Northern Indiana into mapped territories, each managed by an in-house economic development representative. These NIPSCO employees sit on the following boards among other local Economic Development boards listed at the bottom of this report:
Indiana Economic Development Corporation
Northwest Indiana Forum
Michiana Regional Economic Development Corporation
Their mission: recruit large commercial energy consumers into NIPSCO’s territory.
7. Renewable Projects Owned or Contracted by NIPSCO
NIPSCO’s renewable portfolio includes:
Dunns Bridge I
Dunns Bridge II
Cavalry Solar Energy Center
Indiana Crossroads
Fairbanks Solar
Crossroads II Wind
Green River Solar- upcoming
Gibson Solar Gibson County- upcoming
Fairbanks Solar Sullivan County- upcoming
Appleseed Solar Cass County-upcoming
Source: NIPSCO Generation Transition portfolio.
These projects require heavy subsidies but do not reduce capacity costs under MISO’s rules.
NIPSCO claims customers received $60 million in Renewable Energy Credit (REC) returns since 2021.Source: NIPSCO public statements (2024–2025).Yet residential electric and gas bills rose about 30% in 2025 when including the loophole titled: Delivery charge. Just a $28 use of gas charges resulted in a $75 delivery fee plus a kwh raise.
These assessments confirm what the data shows: the system is working extremely well for utilities and investors—and failing residents.
Conclusion: A System Designed Against Consumers
This investigation shows a circular, self-reinforcing structure:
Utilities recruit large industrial energy users.
Industries receive taxpayer-funded incentives and discounted electricity.
Utilities claim new generation must be built to serve them.
Utilites lobby Representatives to force IURC to raise rates and payments for uncompleted/forced-open projects
Utilities build unreliable renewable facilities that raise capacity costs.
Utilities cite capacity shortfalls to raise residential rates.
Excess reliable power is sold to foreign markets for profit.
Financial markets reward utilities for “margin expansion.”
Meanwhile, Indiana families—facing record costs and limited oversight—are left to shoulder the burden.
Unless regulatory conditions change and public transparency improves, Indiana’s energy landscape will continue prioritizing private profit over public necessity.

Good morning! Here is yesterday’s link if you need to catch up 6- Puppy Breath.
Cont’d …..
“What do you mean, Diana? Dog Show training? I don’t even know what ‘show training’ is.”
Diana seemed very matter of fact during the whole exchange, as if it wasn’t the first time she had experienced this type of reaction. That immediately told me that she had pulled this stunt on other puppy buyers who wanted nothing more than a pet, not a show dog.
This woman was not the usual person you would meet on the street and think “That’s a dog person.” Diana was a highly experienced school teacher with an air of arrogance surrounded by disdain for those beneath her. She dressed impeccably with every bottle-red hair on her head in place and under control as if the Queen was coming to inspect.
“Take him over to Greentown where a friend of mine teaches Conformation classes.”
I thought what the heck. It was a chance to spend time with Montana. The classes were only a 20 minute drive away and it would do me good to make new friends. “OK, we’ll try it out.”
My gut instinct at the onset of this issue when I was signing the contract was starting to churn inside of me. Why was she so insistent? Why did she really want him to show? Who cared about one little puppy not participating? Had I known the answer to these questions, I would have found a lawyer, not conformation class.
The ride to Greentown gave me some time to think. I loved spending time with my dogs. My patience with animals exceeded my capabilities with humans. We understood each other. Body language, little movements in certain directions. Dogs spoke a clearer language to me that any English speaking person I had ever known.
I was thankful for having Oreo, my 13 year old female Dalmatian who became Montana’s mentor providing him with the know how to get along with other dogs. He was smart and learned quickly. By the time he was 10 weeks old, he already knew how to sit, stay, speak, and shake. I spent nearly every minute of my free time encouraging him to bond with me Knowing that if I applied myself to Montana’s training he would exceed most expectations. But, did I really want to designate so much time to training with all of the turbulence going on around me.
The storm clouds were beginning to clear both in the sky and my mind. Just as we reached the musty, brick building that had sat empty for years, I made my decision to at least try to bring myself and Montana up to speed in Conformation training. No pressure, but this would at least work in my favor as a relief valve from the mounting stress at home.
I gathered up Montana’s leashes, treats, and water. In a leap of hope, we walked into the arena of that musty brick building with a friendly confidence that anything was better than the life we were leading.
Kimberly Mann entered into journalism through involvement with the Lois Lerner IRS scandal, the famous legal battles of HSUS and Feld, and the nonprofit AKC entanglement with politics and genetic research of the Dalmatian.
The other day, I wrote an article concerning the expenditure of 250 Million Dollars from the Indiana State Coffers in 2023 under Governor Holcomb for “Toll Road State and Counties fund”. The story continues.
Several commenters on social media offered leads as to what that $250 Million was spent on and where it originated. Rumors flying everywhere but nothing concrete. Then, Google became my friend.
In an article by Roads and Bridges title “Indiana Considers Using “Next Generation” Trust Fund from 2009. The article spells out how large amounts of Next Generation trust fund money was transferred to the general funds to be spent. The article is unclear but appears the legislators released $250 Million in 2009.
The Next Generation Trust Fund was then renamed the “Next Level Indiana Trust Fund” comprised of Toll Road lease money totaling $3.8 Billion, only short a few million. The funding is now available under the Next Level Indiana Trust Fund for funding organizations such as Tech Companies-capital investments, not for paving roads.
The “robbing of the piggy bank” continues in 2018 in an Associated Press article “Indiana launches investment fund to help entrepreneurs”. The Next Level Indiana Trust Fund was released of another $250 million in 2018 to “experienced money managers wanting to support new businesses with Indiana ties.” Former Governor Holcolb was quoted as saying “Investing in promising businesses will more effectively grow the state’s economy in the long-term.” https://apnews.co/article/e4641a007c6c24adca86f3ed84c07bf16 This $250 Million was set up as a ‘fund’ with a board comprised of 50 South Capital Advisors LLC to support entrepreneurs. Sounds like another Economic Development fund.
The friendly, vast internet is still void of information as to what the $250 million was spent on from the Indiana coffers titled “Toll Road State and Counties fund” in 2023.
While I ain’t no accountant, I’d say that the sale of our highways was not to pave our roads, buy pitch for our many potholes, or secure funding for our bridges. It appears our roads are being sold to Big Business Toll Road investors to give money to Big Businesses associated with Politicians.
Peace to you this beautiful sunny and humid Tuesday morning! The 12th day of August is usually a scorcher!
It’s world elephant day. One of my favorite animals. Riding on the back of a Elephant at the Saint Louis zoo at only a decade old gave me a memory of a lifetime.
It’s also national vinyl record day reminding us of the days of jukeboxes and record players spinning that round disc fast enough to exude noise that had a beat.
Gardens are coming to fruition around the United States giving families a small break on the pocketbook with rising food costs, astronomical energy bills, and increasing taxes.
Violence here in the States around major cities has grown exponentially. Homicide has become an every day word compared to years ago when murders were few and far between. Makes you wonder why people would think guns, not people, are a problem. In a bold move by the President, he has “taken over” the Washington DC police to eradicate violence in the Nations capital.
Good morning all you bloggers and friends of bloggers!
Yesterday was an awesome day for harvesting the garden. Lots of fresh ripe tomatoes, cucumber, and green beans! Gardening is rather therapeutic when your thoughts overwhelm and create anxiety, a problem that hasn’t released itself from me in more than 15 years post trauma.
In a way, trauma has given me more reason to play in the garden. A solution to both mental health and filling that hunger pain in the muscular sac of the digestive system. Helps with that ever increasing cost of store bought food along with sky high electricity.
Many fail to understand why electricity has jumped in price. In Northwest Indiana, rates are the highest in the state at 19¢ per kwH plus Fees! The reason? Data centers owned by Internet companies/telecommunications companies. They take large amounts of electricity to run their operations. Electric companies have to produce more electricity because of the excessive drain. Do you think the company is going to foot the bill for electricity generation? Heck no. That’s passed on to the consumer. Let’s not even get into the export of electricity that supplements rate increase.
We’ve decided to increase our production of heat on the local politicians who give the Okeydokey for electric companies to increase their rates. Been busy with letters to the Governor, utility commission, etc. The only way to stop a utility company is through government contact. Find the appropriate responsible parties in your area to send them a stern message.
Back to the real life of homesteading, we are working on a new bed for the queen, DooBee Do. She tossed and turns a bit at night so it’s time for her to go back to sleeping in her own bed. Her old one was taken by the new kid on the block, Rocko.
Good morning! Happy Friday. Happy August! Happy New day. Thank you, Lord, for opening our eyes to a beautiful sunrise.
My day started off with a pleasant smile as I walked outside with the dogs to check out the weather. Not only is the temperature a bearable 70 degrees, the butterflies we hovering around the luscious fragrant lilies as if they contained a new drug.
The drug problem in the USA has hit the back burner as what seems to be a temporary solution, Naloxone, has prevent thousands of deaths. It’s a bandaid applied with the use of a form of antibiotic, pressure on Chinese and Mexican drug cartels, to suppress some of the fentanyl activity.
The new problem- data centers. This is one of those problems that effects everyone. From water pollution to exorbitant electric rate increases, data centers are wreaking havoc on the family budget oftentimes causing citizens to choose between food and heat/air conditioners. of course, my writing skills were put to use by sending a pointed letter to the Governor.
My little world continues on fighting against big pharma and unqualified foreign doctors from my thought provoking garden and today’s trip on the 7 mile garage sale.
