Cohen, Baltimore City Council ask state regulators to reject BGE rate increase

A Baltimore City councilman is calling on the state body that oversees Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. to reject a proposed plan that would significantly increase gas costs for customers over the next three years and his City Council colleagues have also signaled their disapproval. Zeke Cohen, who represents Southeast Baltimore’s 1st District, introduced — and council approved — a nonbinding resolution Monday opposing the rate increase.
