This is National Works Zone Awareness Week.

I'm a victim of being ran over by a semi-while flagging.

The person wasn't paying attention, and they hit me with their vehicle.

I've seen an accident where we were the first people to walk up, and that picture will never leave my mind.

I've seen the people get hit before.

It's been horrible.

Construction zones on roadways and bridges are more than just cones and equipment.

They're the workplace for thousands of dedicated union laborers. Everybody has a family that they need to get back home to, so please just pay attention to us out here while we're working. We all have family, and I know it's a pain in the ass. We're trying to make the roads better for y'all. We're doing this for everyone. We're hardworking Hoosiers, just like you, and we all want to make it home safely. People would just take a couple seconds to pay attention. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. We're all in this together, and we're all just trying to be safe. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor's District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down,

save a life. We're all in this together. A message from Labor's International Union of North

America and affiliated locals. So BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager,

$10 trillion under management. And when you've got the world's largest asset manager buying a

utility that provides electricity to Indiana homes and businesses, the question is whether Indiana ratepayers interests are aligned with BlackRock's return on investment requirements.

That's legitimate and important.

And we have the most popular person in the state house joining us this morning to talk

about it alfie the state house dog is here casey if there was every day for our listeners to

tune into the youtube feed today is that day yeah there's a big white dog right here next to me

He did.

So, Indiana State Treasurer, Daniel Elliott, joins us.

Now, he, along with Comptroller,

Elise Nishalla, were my speakers at the Greater Lawrence Chamber luncheon on Tuesday.

So we gave them a performance review.
