Published November 01, 2009 08:32 pm - You have got to be kidding! We are struggling now to pay bills, the ones we already have, and now Empire and Missouri American Water have the nerve to want more because of upgrades and construction of plants of which some of them are not even here. You know, our incomes do not go up year after year. My income has gone down steadily the last two years. So what makes you think we can keep paying this money you want? I think you should take the money we pay you month after month and invest that in your plants. Quit asking us poor people to help you. We could use some help too. Letter of the month: More rate hikes? You have got to be kidding!

You know, our incomes do not go up year after year. My income has gone down steadily the last two years. So what makes you think we can keep paying this money you want? I think you should take the money we pay you month after month and invest that in your plants. Quit asking us poor people to help you. We could use some help too. I say people in this area should band together and go to these meetings and protest. No more rate hikes. We can’t afford it. I’m telling you, this will go on and on until the people speak and stand up for what we feel. Stop the ridiculous. Write more letters to the state and to the Globe. Candy Gagle Joplin
