TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Westar Energy is asking Kansas regulators to increase its electric rates by $20 million - the fourth increase requested this year by the Topeka utility.
Westar says the extra revenue would cover its investments in wind farms and a natural gas-fired power plant near Emporia.
Residential customers in Westar's northern division would see their monthly electric bills rise by an average $1.43. In the southern division, the average monthly increase for residential customers would be 71 cents.
The cost of Obamanomics hits us at home here in Kansas. Get ready to pay up.
