Electric hikes already here

Electricity customers worried about skyrocketing rates when price caps expire starting in 2010 for PPL Corp. and other utilities only have to look at a handful of neighboring communities to see what it's like to deal with hefty increases.

For people who live in Lehighton, Quakertown, Perkasie, Kutztown, Lansdale, Weatherly, Hatfield, Schuylkill Haven and St. Clair -- all of which have municipal-run electric utilities from which they use profits to fund borough operations -- hefty increases are already a fact of life.

Montco eyes loan to drive roadwork

Montgomery County is considering borrowing $150 million to help fund road projects, a proposal that could go to voters next spring.

With state and federal highway aid drying up, planners say the money could be used to push forward gridlock-easing improvements in danger of being ignored.

''People who are struck in traffic always say, 'I wish someone would do something about this,' '' county Transportation Planning Chief Leo Bagley said. ''We are that someone.''

A basic outline of the proposal is being considered by the county Planning Commission, which will present recommendations to commissioners Wednesday. Many details, including whether $150 million would be too much or too little, remain up in the air.
