Unhappy reader backs bigger HMU rate cut for business
A Harlan resident voices support for Allen Burchett’s plan to enlarge commercial and demand class rate cuts, arguing local growth relies on attracting new business. He cites projected costs to HMU and city, notes a new chamber job and office space, and suggests a $0.90 monthly residential relief with a $10.80 yearly impact. He urges HMU to revisit the motion in six months.
