Durham, NC - Over 60 protesters marched on Durham City Hall here, Nov. 2, where the Public Utilities Commission was holding a hearing about Duke Energy's proposed 18% rate hike. After rallying outside, 200 people packed the two-hour hearing in City Hall to speak out against the rate hike.
The march kicked off at the newly-renamed People's Plaza, where Occupy Durham has had an encampment over the last several weeks. 40 people rallied before marching through downtown Durham, chanting "No hike, No way! Duke Energy, we won't pay!" and "Money for jobs and education, not for greedy corporations!" See Full Article Here
