The Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission will be holding a public hearing on a proposed National Grid rate increase on Tuesday, September 15th, at 6PM at the Middletown Town Hall, 350 East Main Rd., Middletown, RI. This proposed rate increase would result in an average customer bill increase of 11.2% per month. This increase, which would impact virtually all Rhode Islanders, follows a 5.2% rate increase in 2007 and a 21.7% increase in 2008.
The Channing Memorial Church Social Action Committee meets on the third Tuesday of every month (with the exception of July) at 7PM in the Channing House Library. All members and friends of the church are welcome to attend. For more information, contact the committee chair at socialaction@channingchurch.org or call the church office at (401) 846-0643.
