Columbus Gas Rate Decision as Potential Yardstick
Ohio Supreme Court rulings in the Columbus gas rate case may influence Elyria's rate dispute. Solicitor Harvey C Che ney argues the Columbus decision could serve as a yardstick but not a primary factor in Elyria's settlement. Columbus upheld 55 cent and 44 cent rates in earlier years with appeals to higher courts. The average domestic user pays about $2.55 for gas, while a city proposal to cut 5,900 feet of gas to $3.37 was rejected last year.
