LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) Tippecanoe County Community Corrections earlier this year received a surprise Duke Energy bill for $40,000 after staff forgot to pay electric bills in 2020.
Community Corrections Deputy Director Kelly Morehouse says Duke last year switched to e-billing, but those bills were sent centrally to the county instead of directly to community corrections.
Morehouse says that was Duke s error. With COVID, everybody working from home and approving things remotely, it wasn t something that was caught, so we had a big surprise a couple months ago where $40,000 was due, Morehouse says.
