Recently, in a letter from the mayor’s office to "Concerned Citizens," there appears the
following statement:
"A recent Letter to the Editor stated that the current average residential electric bill is $100 per
month, which is false."
Here is the exact statement from my May 21, 2015 Letter to the Editor, which is not "false":

"If the electric portion of your monthly utility bill averages, say, $100, you will pay an average
$105 a month for the rest of 2014."
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about how things can be misrepresented which then discredit
critics of the city’s decision to bump up residential electric rates to pay [in addition to the city’s
usual energy costs], for the problematic entities which Bowling Green bought into in 2007:
The Prairie State, Illinois coal plant: two generators shut down in May [Columbus Dispatch, May 29,
2014]; a failed coal plant in Meigs County, Ohio; and hydroelectric plants with, so far, double their
projected construction cost.
