Council OKs four year gas hike contract
City council approved a four year contract with Columbia Gas of Ohio carrying a 29.2 percent increase in natural gas rates over the term. The first year includes a 10 percent rise starting immediately. The deal lacks a re opener clause, which supporters says could help renegotiate if state rate rules change. Two council members opposed the four year plan, arguing for a re opener. Second and third year increases run about 5.3 percent, with the fourth year also higher.
