Dear Neighbors,
I hope that you and your family are staying as warm as possible. If you have found yourself without power, and have the means, here are some tips to stay warm inside your residence: cover the windows (think garbage bags, bubble wrap, plastic), keep the blinds and curtains closed, block drafts (you can use towels to put against the base of your exterior doors or windows), stay in one small room, close the other doors in the residence to keep heat concentrated to certain areas.
A huge shoutout must go to every police officer, sheriff’s deputy, firefighter, dispatcher, first responder, CenterPoint Energy employee and linemen who have been working nonstop.
Session begins on Jan. 8, and we will be at the Statehouse through April. I hope you’ll be a part of the process by completing my survey. Please contact my office at h77@iga.in.gov if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns.
Property taxes, utility costs and funding for our public schools are just some issues that will be addressed this session. In my first year of service as a state representative, I will be focused on my committee assignments, which include: Family, Children, & Human Affairs; Judiciary; Natural Resources; and Utilities, Energy, & Telecommunications.
My survey is available online at IN.gov/H77 by clicking the button at the top of the page. Please do not complete the online survey if you have returned the survey by mail or if you do not reside in House District 77. To find your state legislator, you can visit https://iga.in.gov/information/find-legislators. Please know that a question on my survey does not indicate my support for or opposition to an issue.
In service,
State Rep. Alex Burton
