Worthington wants to shrink its residents’ electric bills —
and its carbon footprint — and city officials say Issue 39 can make that
happen.
If voters approve the issue on Nov. 6, the city would have
permission to go directly to energy suppliers to secure a bulk price that, when
divided among residents and small businesses, could lead to cheaper electric
bills.
The city says the agreement also would allow it to increase
its reliance on renewable energy.
