Electricity was in the air when members of Consumers Council of Missouri (CCM) and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) recently held a joint meeting to discuss rate increases proposed for 2017. 

“Our older residents cannot keep up with constant rate increases, but this affects all of us, including our own families,” said Hardenbrook, a South County resident.

AARP, Consumers Council urge residents to attend local public hearings.
