FYI, Your Consumers Electric Bill is About To Go Up
Don't kill us, we're just the messenger. We can actually hear your groans through the website, and we agree.
Regulators have approved a rate hike for Consumers Energy customers in regards to electricity, starting next week.
To be fair, the rates are less than what Consumers had "self-implemented" back in September, so customers WILL get a refund with interest. However, the rates are 2.8% higher than their raise back in 2015.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could conduct our lives just like this? If we could self-implement a raise for ourselves at work, and then hope that our bosses approve it later? *laugh out loud*
