Senator Richard Lugar visits wastewater plant during last-minute campaign visit

The senator who has been representing Indiana since 1976 made a campaign stop in West Lafayette to tour the city's wastewater treatment plant and to drum up some last minute support before Indiana's primary election on Tuesday.

Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., observed the facilities of the plant with West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis and director of the plant David Henderson as they filled Lugar in on the details of how the plant produces renewable energy.

Lugar said the experience he has when it comes to communicating with world leaders takes years to accumulate.

"This experience cannot be replicated and will not be for sometime," Lugar said.
