If Osage can provide utilities to their city , Nora Sorings can also. It’s time the city does what’s best for the town and residents.
Nora Sorings City counsel NEEDS TO LOOK INTO PROVIDING THEIR OWN GAS AND ELECTRIC TO THEIR RESIDENTS!! The city would prosper, lower rates for residents and grow population. If unable to provide their own electric and gas to residents they need to bring in another company so residents have a choice besides Alliant Energy. Recent findings on Alliant over charging customers by the IUB IS reason enough. Customers have been complaining for years knowing their bills were higher then should be. It took absolute pressure for the IUB to rule against and demand refunding customers. The IUB also needs investigated if it took them thus long to do any thing about misconduct and mismanagement. The refunded amount should be way higher and many more years looked at of mismanagement. Nora Springs Residents DEMAND another choice be brought in. So far Nora Sorings sits and does nothing for their residents as other cities do. Weak.
