Speakout
(Opinion ~ 05/23/20)
I’m calling to speak out in response to the person complaining about the high rates from BMU. I have family that lives outside of Miner and their electricity is supplied by Ameren UE. Their electricity bills are twice as high as those I pay from BMU. Also my family has a small property in Bollinger County that has a small trailer sitting on it that we use only on weekends and the electricity bill from Ozark Border for that property is probably twice what we pay for our home here in Sikeston. When you compare the rates of BMU to surrounding electric companies, I’m very pleased with the rates I pay from BMU. I know other people may not be as happy with the BMU rates, but if they had adequate comparison, I believe they will find that our rates with BMU are far better than ours with surrounding services. Thank you.
