A planned renovation has not turned into a complete and permanent demolition of our public pool.

Some people blame our local city government without knowing the state of Indiana, and our state representatives, are to blame. The state is actively starving our local democracies through SEA-1. They are taking away our local decision making for quality of life.

You can be certain they are going after our libraries and parks and trails and so much more infrastructure. This is a negative to our quality of life and our local democracy decision making.

Note the increasing trash and water bills as a result of the same state government take over.

Back to the proclamation that June at the nuclear family month.

Obviously proclaiming anything as god’s design causes me concern about separation of church and state.

But rereading this proclamation brought up another question. It specifically states “foundation of society since the creation of the world;”

Knowing there was no society at the beginning of the world, does this imply Braun is a 6,000 year young earth believer? That is very very troubling.

Mr. Braun is personal friends with IN 49 rep King, who touts being education focused. I can’t imagine being a young earther and still believe in general education of knowledge.

Is Mr. Braun and Ms. King 6,000 year old earthers? Do they know the world is round?

Over the last five years I’ve had two flat earther employees (manufacturing). This disturbed me as one was a single mother in her twenties and the other was a male in his 30s.

I listened to each. And didn’t focus on challenging. But here was a discussion that they couldn’t respond to.

My career stated in electrical engineering and I managed a satellite earth station focusing on geostationary satellites. I’ve seen rockets launch.

First, she said rockets went up but they don’t go anywhere. I simply said they do go somewhere. I saw them launch and keep going out of sight.

Second she said there are no satellites. I said I was transmitting signals and it came back. Her reply was it bounced off something. Obviously she did know what it bounced off.

Third, I said it didn’t just reflect. I transmitted c-band at 4 gig and my data returned at 6 gig. I transmitted ku band at 12 gig and it came back at 14 gig. I could show her on an oscillascope. It didn’t reflect. Something changed it. She didn’t believe me

Fourth, and lastly, I said we can time the distance. I was in Chicago. The satellite at my longitude were the closest. I could also transmit west over the pacific. We had a sister earth station in San Francisco. They were closest at their longitude and could also reach the one nearest to Chicago. Here is the key. When we measure the distance over the other longitude, the satellite isn’t where it would need to be if flat. The disc lance indicate a curved orbit. And she couldn’t explain why a geostationary satellite needed to be south of Chicago nor how it would stay in place if we are flat.

The oscilloscope tells all. She drank her beer and we talked about religion. But I’ve been thinking about the geo orbit as a scientific measurement showing our curvature since.

Today Nipsco sent out two documents defending their energy rates. While visually appealing in design, the documents provide no meaningful information.

What isn't shown for example is the actual cost per KWh. Nor is this shown on your actual electric bill.

Our Residential Rate 611 since February 2026 is $.205 per KWh.

https://www.nipsco.com/docs/librariesprovider11/rates-and-tariffs/electric-rates/2025-to-current/rate-611.pdf

National average is $.1682 per KWh
Illinois average is $.1704 per KWh with some areas as low as .1015 per KWh (https://poweroutage.us/electricity-rates/il)

Incidentally, Indiana rate was in line with Illinois prior to us voting out Net Metering. Is there a connection?
