When she ran for county commissioner four years ago, a main campaign theme of incumbent Republican candidate Jane Vignos was to bring "cheaper" natural gas prices to Stark Countians.
Vignos and her fellows Richard Regula and Gayle Jackson were successful.
It's a twist ironic that one of the candidates who is running to replace Vignos (who is retiring), is not doing all he can to get Ohio to publicize the availability of those cheaper prices to Stark Counltians.
On September 14th The Repository published a letter to the editor by a Bruce Hord of Jackson Township who wrote, in part:
Recently I spent a very frustrating three to four hours trying to comprehend the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio "Apples to Apples" natural gas rate program Web site.Then Hord added:
The purpose of this letter is twofold:What Hord failed to mention, perhaps, because he didn't know, is that Stark County has a state representative who is in a position to correct the "anti-consumer-friendly" Apples-to-Apples.
• To highlight to all Stark County residents the absurdity of the highly complex and basically useless PUCO "Apples to Apples" Web site.
• To question the integrity of gas supply companies that, when asked for the most competitive price available to Stark County residents, offer no thoughts about the aggregation price. I tested this at two different locations/phone numbers for one gas supplier and received the same erroneous answers.
Yes, indeed! Who is this person? John Hagan (Republican - Marlboro) who chairs the Ohio House Public Utilities Committee and, get this, is currently running for county commissioner.
Now, if this guy was a smart politician (?) and if he were consumer friendly (??) and he wanted to add to the legacy of fellow Republican Jane Vignos (???), wouldn't he get on the stick and use his clout to save Stark Countians like Bruce Hord hours upon hours hunting down the particulars of Stark County's Natural Gas Aggregation Plan?
