Gas and PR Clash Over Cincinnati Rate Fight
Councilman Rollin H. Everett notes a Cincinnati Enquirer blast on councilmen who oppose a 25 percent rate rise for Cincinnati Gas and Electric and the PR system. The piece links gas rate battles to 20+ year political machine history and warns a No vote on abolishing PR sustains lower gas and electricity prices in November. It also criticizes calls for secret police and cites city manager Kellogg on levies and rent control debates with Real Estate Board influence.
