I posted a seperate message about the potential base rate increase from Great Lakes Energy. I have not seen it posted that anyone is going to send a message to the company before the March 22 meeting or is coming to the meeting. My one voice is not going to make much difference. We need to respond in numbers so they know we are out here.

Read my other post again then send an email or letter to the company in Boyne City. If we at least complain about the surecharge being added to the new higher rate maybe they will not add the surcharge.

Send your comments to Chariman Richard Walsworth rwalsworth@glenergy.com

Please post that you did it so we all know there are others getting involved.

Don't forget that you will also pay 4% sales tax on this fee along with 4% on the electricity charge, something Great Lakes Energy conveniently never mentions.

I posted this on Facebook as not everyone reads the Forum. Two people responded to my post saying they had sent emails also.

Great Lakes Energy proposed base rate increase

Post by Ted Hughes »

Thank you to Don Seelye for bringing this item to our attention.

This morning I emailed the Chairman of the GLE Board of Directors (a) stating my objections to the proposed base rate increase and (b) requesting the Board to vote NO on this proposal.
