Stadelman Utility Bill Clinic, Feb 23, 4 to 6 PM

Stadelman conducts Feb. 23 clinic to help consumers reduce utility bills

 ROCKFORD – Illinois State Senator Steve Stadelman has invited experts from the Citizens Utility Board to conduct a free clinic where local consumers can learn ways to reduce their gas, electric and landline telephone bills.

 “Utility costs always take a bite out of people’s wallets in the dead of winter, and recent rate increases only add to the financial burden for families and seniors,” said Stadelman, D-Rockford. “This workshop offers a chance to learn about all the cost-savings options that are available.”

 CUB advisors will offer one-on-one analysis of gas, electric and landline phone bills, information on spotting billing errors and incentives designed to help people improve energy efficiency.
