Ohio Edison customers continue to speak out against a proposed rate hike.

Tuesday night in Austintown, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio held another hearing on the proposal.

First Energy is asking for a fifteen percent rate increase over three years.

Hardest hit would be homes that heat with electricity, and commercial customers. 

Some Folks at the meeting just want answers for the increases which the company blames the rising cost of just doing business.

The PUCO plans to make a decision by December 31st on the rate increase.
