City Council backs gas rate increase despite protest
Elyria’s city council, by a 4 to 3 vote, refused to protest a Logan Gas Company rate hike that replaces the service charge with a higher rate of 95 cents per 500 cubic feet and 1.90 per thousand. The piece argues the council acted against the city attorney’s advice and criticizes council members as aligned with the company.
