The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission is extending its power shut off moratorium, giving customers struggling to pay their energy bills 45 more days before a power shut off is allowed. The disconnection moratorium will now end August 14th. The IURC also denied Indiana’s gas and electric companies’ request to increase costs to recover lost revenue from the coronavirus pandemic. The IURC also deferred the joint utility petitioners’ requests related to increased operations and maintenance expenses until it can be evaluated more thoroughly.

Transgender students may be barred from attending Catholic schools in central and southern Indiana, according to a new policy from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Archbishop Charles C. Thompson directed schools to work with transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary students to “pastorally address their needs in alignment with the church’s teachings to navigate the difficult issues related to sexual identity… and living in accordance with church values.” The directive continues: “Any student whose gender has been legally changed from their biological sex, or who has chemically and/or surgically altered their given biology, may not be eligible for enrollment.” The document also says that parents who enroll their children in a Catholic school must understand, affirm, and support the archdiocese mission and policies. The archdiocesan schools participate in the state’s voucher program, which uses public dollars to fund scholarships to private schools. Democratic lawmakers have introduced several bills to prevent discrimination against students, staff, and teachers in voucher schools, but none have passed.

A Saharan dust cloud is continuing its move northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Dust from the Sahara usually impacts the United States once or twice a year. However, this latest wave will be a little more intense. By tomorrow the dust will impact Indiana, continuing into the weekend. The dust will create a milky looking sky at times during the day. It will bring poor air quality to the area. Those sensitive to air quality or those who have respiratory conditions may experience issues. Be on the lookout for vivid sunsets and sunrises. The dust particles in the atmosphere will cause light to be scattered, resulting in vibrant colors as the sun sets and rises.
