Gov. Matt Blunt Statement on the PSC's Decision on Ameren Rate Increase

JEFFERSON CITY– Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on the Public Service Commission's decision to approve Ameren's request for a rate increase:

"As I have said, the Public Service Commission should not even consider a rate increase for Ameren until Ameren provides better service and better performance for their customers. I strongly disagree with the commission's decision."
