DISCUSSION: TWO MORE STARK COUNTY GOVERNMENTS (NIMISHILLEN & NORTH CANTON) GO ON RECORD WITH PUCO AGAINST LARGE AEP INCREASE




The list is growing. More and more Stark County government units are weighing in against the AEP/Ohio Power requested increase in electric rates (52% compounded over three years/62% for businesses).

Above the text material see a graphic of Nimishillen Township's filing with the PUCO. Note the cc: to Mr. Bill Daugherty. Daugherty is a citizen-activist who along with Kevin Ellis of Louisville have been persistent in their efforts to get Stark County government units to fight the AEP/Ohio requested large increase.

Plain Township trustee Louis Giavasis deserves special mention for his strong efforta to fight the increase.

Last evening the STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) visited the North Canton City Council meeting to record for your viewing Council's approval of Mayor David Held's letter directed to the PUCO objecting to the size of the proposed increase.

View the Held video below.

Question: Will the Stark County input (Stark County being the volume base of Ohio Power's customer base) be the tipping point against AEP's ESP as presently constituted?
