Zay Out as Commissioner Over Ethics Violations | Indianapolis News

Published 5 days, 21 hours ago
Description

Former Indiana state senator Andy Zay has been fired from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission after a string of alleged misconduct, including failing to file financial disclosures, improperly giving gifts to staff, and altering meeting agendas without approval. His ouster follows controversy over a $71 million electricity rate hike approved under his leadership — a decision Governor Mike Braun had called into question. Braun replaced Zay as chairman in June and now faces pressure to name a new commissioner, while Democrats accuse him of using Zay as a political scapegoat. With Zay’s Senate seat already vacated to join the commission, his political future remains uncertain.
