Troopers from the Indiana State Police Jasper Post will be conducting a sobriety check point at an undisclosed location in Orange County on Friday, August 21, 2015.
Those drivers passing through the check point area should have their licenses and registrations ready to present to troopers, and will only be detained briefly while troopers determine whether further investigation is necessary.
The purpose of the sobriety check point is to remove those motorists from the highways who are alcohol and/or drug impaired and poses a danger to all who use the roadways.
Impaired drivers are responsible for billions of dollars in property damage, personal injury, and death annually.
Reminders so motorists do not find themselves “Over the Limit and Under Arrest”:
• Plan ahead and always designate a sober driver before consuming alcohol.
• Don’t drive your vehicle if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Call a taxi or sober friend.
• Take care of your friends. Never let a friend drive while impaired.
• If you are hosting a party, always offer non-alcoholic beverages. Make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver.
• Never provide alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age of 21.
Motorists encountering another vehicle being operated erratically are encouraged to dial 911 or call the Jasper Indiana State Police Post at (812) 482-1441 or (800) 742-7475. Be prepared to give a description of the vehicle, location, and direction of travel.
Indiana Electric Cooperatives, the association representing the state’s 38 electric distribution cooperatives, remains concerned about the impact the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan and the impact new regulations will have on its members.
“As not-for-profit, member-owned electric cooperatives, we have a responsibility to represent the best interests of our member consumers,” said Rick Coons, CEO of Indiana Electric Cooperatives. “The potential for this rule to dramatically raise the price of electricity and damage the state’s economy is too great.”
In 2014, Indiana Electric Cooperatives led a coordinated grassroots campaign in response to these regulations as part of the public comment period. Over 90,000 Hoosiers asked the EPA reconsider its approach.
“As the Clean Power Plan regulations were revealed today, Indiana’s electric cooperatives are disappointed the EPA chose not to adapt their regulations to help protect affordable electricity for Hoosiers,” said Coons.
“While some modifications were made, the final regulations continue to reflect the fundamental flaws of the EPA’s original proposal. We believe these regulations will add additional and unnecessary burdens to already rising costs without making any meaningful impact on carbon emissions worldwide.”
Indiana’s electric cooperatives are dedicated to a cleaner environment, including an aggressive commitment to energy efficiency programs and renewable energy. It is a key part of the cooperatives’ commitment to the communities we serve and our mission to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity.
