Dear Editor:

At Rushville City Utilities, we try to work with our customers for the best customer service that we can provide. We added an automatic payment program last year to make it more convenient for our customers to make their payments.

If a customer has a delinquent account once in a 12 month period, we send them a notice to let them know that we did not receive their payment. (Note: We only send one notice per customer in a 12 month period).

We feel that communication is key for a good relationship between us and our customers, and we understand that everyone needs help from time to time. In some instances we are able to make arrangements to extend the payment date to allow you the extra time needed to make your payment.

We will no longer allow payment extensions on the actual day the service is to be disconnected. The customer listed on the account must contact our office prior to the disconnect date stated on the bill.

In the event that an account is disconnected due to non-payment of a bill, a collection fee/re-connect fee of $30 plus the amount owed will be charged and must be paid before service is restored. If service is restored after regular business hours, an overtime fee of $45 will be charged as well. These charges are necessary to recoup the added expenses that we incur caused by the non-payment.

We know that with the present economy the way it is, it has put a financial strain on a lot of people, so we need for you to communicate with us as soon as possible when you know that you will be having an issue with paying your bill. We will work with you for a resolution.

Is Romney still a conservative? TV media doesn't think so
Dear Editor:
It's interesting to note that television reporters and talking heads now use the term "conservative" to refer only to those on the extreme far right.

Right to Work: What's the rush?
Dear Editor:
Why the rush to pass Right to Work? The Republicans have all the power and could pass this anytime during this short session.

RE: Forced "fairness" not government's role
Dear Editor,
I again find myself puzzled by Mr. Barada's columns.
It seems that Mr. Barada believes that that there is an Obama-occupy army waiting around every street corner to kidnap our children and force them into a life of Socialist servitude.

What about The Star Spangled Banner?
Dear Editor,
When it was recently announced that an Indiana state Senator had introduced a bill calling for rules regulating the performance of our national anthem, some of you may have groaned, "Well, Norm Voiles will certainly weigh in on that one!"

Union myths
Dear Editor:
If Hoosiers wish to break free from the chains of stagnation and lead the
country on the road to recovery, they should embrace the right-to-work law.
