Trumbull gas, electric proposal explained

CHAMPION — Several local politicians showed support for a county-wide natural gas and electric aggregation plan, and they want voters to show the same support at the ballot box.

On this November’s ballot, voters in Trumbull County’s townships will be asked whether they want to grant the county commissioners the authority to secure a group price for electricity and natural gas that consumers could then buy.

Liberty Township Trustee Jack Simon and Champion Township Trustee Jeff Hovanic spoke in favor of the ballot issue at a meeting Thursday night. Liberty uses the aggregation process to offer lower gas and electric rates to consumers. Champion uses the process to buy gas.
