Comment on Utility Rate Increases Enacted by Council by Russell Henkel
You need to learn how to manage electric,turn lights off when you leave a room[train kids].put in low energy light bulbs[tax break],unplug things that you are not using at night[microwaves,computers,coffee makers,toasters,lights,pull circuit breakers on dryer flip back on when useing,washing machine,t.v if you can] invest in energy products like refrigerator,hot water tank,if you can, low energy furnace,the cooling coil[central air] in summer time takes a lot of energy,hope mine[21 years] goes bad so i can replace,i have a 21 year old t.v.thats sucks electricy,am going to take a ball bat to it if it dont go bad pretty soon,been doing the above for 46 years,things can catch fire when plugged in all the time. the wire is hot to above items all the time until you turn it on,i even unplug my heating pad that i use every day on my back[arthritus]. the city hates me on elect and water.cant sell house will have to stay and gut it out,we are not the only ones.It will make a difference, a little unhandy but saves elect and money.Comment on Utility Rate Increases Enacted by Council by galiongirl
Perhaps it's time the citizens take it out of city councils hands, and vote by referendum to sell the city grid to an outside entity. It's too late to get it on the May ballot, but come November the citizens of Galion can have their voices and wishes heard.Comment on A “Year of Work” Begins by galiongirl
Yes the airport can be sold, but I don't know who would want to buy it. Then you have to factor in all the Federal money that Galion has accepted from the FAA, that money would have to be paid back. That bill alone runs into the millions.Comment on A “Year of Work” Begins by Russell Henkel
Can we sell the airport,will the feds let us do that?,then let the flyboys who can afford an airplane take care it. yes or noComment on Utility Rate Increases Enacted by Council by Nichole
I can't even begin to explain my outrage over the latest increases!!! My husband and I have two small children who we are desperately trying to provide at least a good meal everyday!!! However, with my most recent electric bill of $530, It will take a miracle to happen!!! No, that isn't a misprint, my bill for one month was $530!! I don't live in a mansion by any means! My husband has a great job, or so I thought, until buying a house in this joke of a town. I would give anything at this point to be able to sell my house and leave this town for good, but who in there right mind would buy a house in Galion! At this point I'm wondering if it would really be that bad to live without electric!!! People used to do it, right! Galion does not deserve my families hard earned money, not that I even have enough to pay them! To every resident of galion, we need to figure out something we can all do! I refuse to lose my house and go into debt, just to attempt to pay my electric bill!!Blog Posts

I was just wondering why we have so many "snowflakes", and very few pictures of members? Can anyone enlighten me? You can't all be that shy.
