Erie Mayor Pushes Protest Against Penelec Hike
Erie Mayor Louis Tullio plans a formal protest over a proposed 23 percent rate increase by Pennsylvania Electric Co. He will convene Erie municipal officials to decide the protest shape and is seeking legal options with the city solicitor. He notes a 17 percent rise two years ago and argues the total 40 percent rise over two years would be improper if approved. He recalls the PUC's stance when Erie raised water rates and says Penelec seeks funds for new facilities, which should delay any increase until completion.
