slacker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Irregular News for 03.09.07 Carterville, IL -- A southern Illinois man who's fed up with higher electric rates has come up with a way to show his displeasure while paying his bill. Robert Hancock said his monthly power bill jumped nearly 200 percent -- to $526.62. So he's going to send Ameren 52,662 pennies. Hancock said he's worked things out with a local bank to get the coins and with the post office to mail the money. It will cost about $50 extra for postage. But Hancock said that if he can cause Ameren a little inconvenience, it's worth it to him. source Quote Link to comment
