Campbell Protests Electricity Rates

The soaring cost of electricity continues to catch the attention of Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell.

The NDP member says the province must do something to reign in electricity rates.

Campbell says northerners can no longer afford to pay their bill with many seniors saying they may have to move out of their homes as their pensions can;t keep up with the soaring rates.

Campbell says since 2007 the off-peak rate has risen 140-percent and the on-peak rate has jumped 48-percent.
