C-O Editorial: On Utility Rate increases...follow the money

Tuesday night’s Cameron City Council Meeting will address the water portion of the suggested Utility Rate hikes which are projected to raise citizen monthly payments on water, sewer and electric rates by a significant amount per month, an amount as significant but exponentially bigger for commercial and industrial customers.

What we are faced with here, probably most starkly is a 65% one year price gash on monthly water bills, taking the average bill from $28 a month and change to $47 a month and change, on the average.
