ICC Approves Natural Gas Rate Hikes

Chilsen says an appeal will not stop the increase from taking effect.  But if they win, the companies will have to reimburse the customers.  Ameren had asked for a 51-million dollar increase.  The ICC also approved rate hikes for Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas.
