Ottawa Utility Rates Spark Heated City Commission Meeting
The Ottawa commission faced sharp criticism over why electric rates and bids are higher than in other areas as state utilities seek large rate hikes. Residents cited high bills and questioned the BPA deal, while officials defended costs and noted a $260,000 shift from the power plant to the general fund. The vote approved a 6.25 percent revenue boost and a fence bid, with Veterans Day parade plans also given approval.
