Chicago Victory
AG, CUB help
defeat illegal gas charge, win $2.3 million refund
The battle
against an illegal and unnecessary gas charge ended just days ago, with state
regulators ordering a $2.3 million
refund for Peoples Gas customers.
Getting money
back is always good news, but even more significantly, CUB and the Illinois
Attorney General’s office worked swiftly to end the bad charge before it could
do any more damage. Without this legal battle, the so-called Infrastructure Cost
Recovery (ICR) fee could have drained our bank accounts of millions upon
millions of dollars for years to come.
Tell your friends about our victory, and please help us win more breaks for your bills.
Hey Chicago!
Are you ready to vote on your electric prices?
The Chicago
City Council recently voted to put a municipal aggregation referendum on the
November ballot. That means the City wants to know if you trust it enough to
negotiate power prices on your behalf. So far, municipal aggregation has been
winning big savings for communities, but the jury’s still out on whether it will
be able to do that past June of 2013.
CELEBRATE BLACK
Celebrate every Wednesday by shopping with at least one black owned
business or buying at least two products made by a company that is black owned
and controlled.
When you find them, send their contact information including zip code, to Melvyna.boonjaba@yahoo.com. In an effort to keep our dollars among ourselves, we are creating a list of black owned business for posting during the holidays.
Zip codes are important because we let members of the National Block Club University know the businesses in their area and encourage them to encourage other community members to give it their support.
Along with contact information, we encourage your opinion of the business or product. If it's good we post them. If it is not good, we contact the business and encourage them to get better. This is a collective effort. It will not succeed without your support and involvement.
Thanks and pass this along.
