Grafton Council fightsOhio Edison rate hike action
GRAFTON that faces a second Ohio Edison rate increase within a year joined a regional coalition to press for a reduction. Mayor Ernest Toghill estimated the new hike around 2.74 percent with the prior rise dating to December 1971. The village buys power from Ohio Edison and resells to residents, so higher rates affect local costs. The council authorized a potential $690 legal-fee share if the regional committee pursues rate relief, with participation limited to if a lower rate is achieved. Other measures set penalties for sewer and water fee noncompliance, discuss refinancing a municipal building loan, and approve signage and outfit purchases. An open house is planned for the new municipal building, plus a Halloween parade and trick-or-treat night set for late October.
