Ameren and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce
Last night I saw a TV20 news report about the Chamber of Commerce setting up electric co-op programs to shield business owners from the outrageous Ameren rate hikes. The Springfield Area Chamber is copying a program already adopted in Decatur. The fact that they feel this program is necessary is evidence that they believe the rate hikes are burdensome to Ameren customers.
I find that ironic because the Illinois Chamber of Commerce is one of the principle groups backing CORE, the phony "consumer" front group started by Ameren and ComEd.
In other words, the Chamber has no problem with helping Ameren drown residential customers in rate hikes just as long as Chamber businesses have their own life raft. Nice. Real nice.

Will, this is totally off topic, so please delete it when you see it. I don't see any other way to contact you. Your name was invoked by one of the Commentariat (my new word) in a SJR editorial about the right to shoot off fireworks today. See first comment:

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, my cyber-stalker has been at it again lately. He tries to stick my name on outrageous posts and comments on the SJ-R board, sometimes impersonating me. People should know that I don't use my real name whenever I do comment on the SJ-R comment board so anyone claiming to be me is a troll.
I'm getting inspired to write some critical posts about county government again since I know how difficult it is for him to take any criticism about his beloved politburo.
