Editorial: ComEd wants a rate hike. Not a cent, Illinois should say, until the utility regains public trust. – Chicago Tribune*

"There’s no doubt that ComEd squandered the public trust. It won’t win it back by hitting ratepayers with one more massive rate hike — the largest in eight years. It would mark the last rate increase under the old formula rate system, and it would come on top of a $46 million price hike the utility slapped onto ratepayers last year. The ICC still has authority to approve or reject the $199 million rate hike."

LOL no large publicly traded company run by psychopaths and heavily regulated by the government will ever be able to ‘gain my trust’.

Seems fair to put it in the rates because the people paying for electric also are the ones that voted for the politicians either by voting for them or by not getting out and voting against them

They gotta pay that $200 million fine they received for the Madigan bribery scheme. That money has to come from somewhere so, raise prices and make the customers pay for their criminal activity.
