Phone Revolutionists Battle Hickory Rate Hike in Michigan
In Hickory Corners Michigan residents rally to resist a 1975 rate increase by Hickory Telephone Co raising monthly charges to 16.35. About 75 dropped service and more than 22 000 raised through pancake breakfasts and sales to fund legal challenges. PSC expectations suggest possible rate cuts and refunds, while residents keep supporting the campaign with meals raffles and community efforts.
