Bay Village leader wary as Columbia Gas fight grows
Bay Village Council President Richard Martin fights to keep the city from being drawn into a broader coalition versus Columbia Gas. Twelve western Cuyahoga and eastern Lorain counties cities seek lower rates and possible takeover of gas lines. Martin favors limited participation and warns uniform statewide rates could raise costs for developing communities and require costly, lengthy actions. Coalition attorney says uniform rates would spread misery, suggesting communities could save by forming their own utility. Martin remains opposed to a takeover, calling it too complex and potentially costly.
