doesn't seem like much, but imagine the hardship on those of us that 
are on fixed incomes (without cost of living raises) trying to meet our 
financial obligations with not break in sight.

raise such as this.? Each consumer is looking at paying $144 extra a 
year, whether you consume gas or not during the summer months that's 
nearly $8 million dollars they will make just from the increase for the 
city of Youngstown, alone.?

were able to take that much money a year and help folks and families 
that really need help or even create a business?that would hire 20 
people at fair wages per year?

Spending one hour can?save $144 dollars! They will repsond to the 
expressed sentiment of the public, it only makes sense for us to make 
our opinion known. PLease encourage your family, friends and people of 
the faith to spread the news and commit to being present. Filling 
those?Chambers with our presence will send a clear message.
