Ameren rate hike protest joins officials in Illinois
A Citizens Utility Board official and a Jackson County AARP representative joined state Rep. John Bradley to protest Ameren's 90 million dollar rate hike filing with the Illinois Commerce Commission. They cited rising utility costs for Illinois AARP members and opposed Senate Bill 1652 which would enable automated hikes over 10 years. Ameren defense calls the request essential to cover service costs.
