“My office has been receiving a large number of calls regarding changes proposed by AmerenUE and their request to the Public Service Commission to grant them an 18 percent rate increase,” said Lowery.

Other topics of interest that will be addressed at the meeting are reports on crime statistics, infrastructure updates, and the new single trash hauler program.
