Jim Scherle has been driving around Dubois County in his decorated truck. He is one of the few voices that the community has actively heard speak out for the power plant. He works for the Jasper Power Plant but has been moved to the Electrical Department to fill in as a lineman. The 32 hour work weeks have taken its toll on his livelihood as well as his children. "My son works in an underground coal mine. I'm not proud of that but I can't afford to send him to college." Jim and his daughter Claire spoke at the Public Forum on Tuesday night.
