I read a Colorado sun article earlier this year that talked about how the Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers with respect to inflation don't accurately account for the rural component of those costs. And Folks in the state that have to travel further and pay more for gas and more wear on their car end up getting hurt even more by inflation than folks that live in urban areas of the state. And so, yes, the cost of groceries, the cost of utilities, the cost of energy. In my law practice, I work with rural electric cooperatives that are faced with upward rate pressure that are caused by some of these bad regulations. (13:13–14:22)
CLAIM
