Municipalities Review Electric Rate Case Seeks Settlement
Representatives from 31 Level B municipalities including Rittman met to respond to the state supreme court ruling that denied the group's appeal of a Public Utilities Commission of Ohio rate decision in favor of Ohio Edison. They authorized Cincinnati firm Steer Strauss White Tobias to negotiate settlement terms, arguing Level B rates were unfair versus Level A and rural rates as they have opposed the rise for over a year and a half.
