CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — With energy rates rising — lawmakers say people are reaching out with questions — and today they took time to give answers.

State representatives Carol Ammons and Paul Faraci came together for a joint town hall at the Illinois terminal in Champaign. They brought in experts to talk about cuts to social services and rising energy costs. Ammons says the higher costs surprised even her — causing her to help put this on today.

“We said, let’s invite Ameren in here. Let’s talk about what can be done.” said Ammons, “And at the same time, we asked Community Solar and the Solar for All program that is really helping people lower their energy costs at the same time. But a lot of people don’t know about the program. So, we decided to bring both of these things together into one town hall so that people can get some resources and some answers at the same time.”

Ammons says the resources talked about tonight will be available online. To find that information you can visit either Ammons website or Faraci’s.
