CUB experts give advice on how to shave monthly utility costs
More than 40 people joined State Senator Steve Stadelman for a Utility Bill Clinic where expert advisers reviewed their monthly gas, electric and land-based phone bills and identified ways for them to save money. Each summer and winter since taking office in 2013, Senator Stadelman has invited representatives from the Citizens Utility to Board to work one-on-one with customers in the 34th District that he represents. Alice Heath (bottom photo) attended a previous clinic and has since been saving $70 a month on her land-based phone; she came back this week and discovered ways to trim her cable TV and internet costs. Spring Ridge Senior Housing on Fincham Road in Rockford offered its Community Room for the clinic.
