Consumer group calls on AES to refund customers
(WYSO) The Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, or OCC, has accused Dayton electric utility AES Ohio of unlawfully charging its local customers. The OCC says AES charged customers without the permission of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. That's the state commission THAT decides how much - electric or natural gas companies - can charge customers. The consumers council is now asking AES to refund its customers for the unlawful charges from August of last year until this June.

A chance meeting with a volunteer in a college computer lab in 1987 brought Mike to WYSO. He started filling in for various music shows, and performed various production, news, and on-air activities during the late 1980s and 90s, spinning vinyl and cutting tape before the digital evolution.
