Groups Ask Public To Speak Out Against ComEd Proposed Hikes

CHICAGO (WBBM) - A coalition of groups is urging the public to speak out against proposed new fees for ComEd customers.

The Citizens Utility Board, AARP and the Illinois Attorney General's office are hoping public sentiment will sway state regulators to oppose the hikes.

The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is holding public hearings on ComEd’s proposal to increase electric rates by $361 million.

The hearings are:

5:30 p.m. , Wednesday, April 9
State of Illinois Building ICC-8th floor
(The Bilandic Building at LaSalle and Randolph)
160 N. LaSalle
Chicago

7 p.m., Thursday, April 10
Joliet High Central
Little Theatre
201 E. Jefferson
