James Smith+FollowIndiana’s blackout plates come with a priceIndiana’s new all-black license plates are officially on the road, but that sleek look comes with a catch—up to $90 a year if you want a personalized version. The blackout plate is the latest option from the BMV, and while it’s a bold way to stand out, the fees are higher than most standard plates. Early adopters can swap before their current plate expires for a small fee, but beware of fake plates online—only BMV-issued ones are legal. Would you pay extra for a minimalist plate, or is this just another cash grab? #Cars #Indiana #LicensePlates00Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowIndiana’s power bills spike: What’s driving it?Indiana households are seeing some of the steepest electricity price hikes in the Midwest, with rates jumping 11.5% in just a year.

Utilities are also investing in new infrastructure to keep up, and those expenses get passed on to us. With AES proposing even higher rate hikes in Indianapolis, it’s got a lot of folks wondering: How much more can we expect to pay, and what’s the real solution here? #Business #Industry #Indiana00Share
