By Paula Pyzik Scott

In recent weeks, a representative from IGS Energy has been visiting Bluffton residents with an offer to provide them with lower cost fixed electricity rates. If it were not for his second visit, I would not have realized that my participation in the Village aggregation program was incorrectly dropped.
