Dear Editor,
While we bring in the new year, I wonder if folks are prepared for a 14 percent increase in their electric bill.
As a Progress Energy customer in Western North Carolina, I am worried about the proposed rate hikes that could have a serious effect on low income households, schools, neighbors, small businesses and others.
I hope Progress Energy customers across our state will jump at the opportunity to speak out at a public hearing in their area. Rockingham’s Public Hearing will be Feb. 20, 2013 at the Richmond County Courthouse at 7 p.m.
