Munster businesses are still reeling from last month’s storm, with power outages hitting spots like Parlor Doughnuts and Nat’s Barber Shop—and nearby neighborhoods—just as they’re trying to recover from the August 11 derecho.

The mayor of Portage is echoing these concerns, demanding transparency and accountability from NIPSCO to prevent future disruptions.
