General Manager Jim Thompson said a 16 percent increase, the first rate increase for customers since 2003, should carry the cooperative for two years. "At the beginning of 2011, we anticipate the need to have another increase, hopefully smaller," he said. Thompson updated members on the challenges and opportunities facing the cooperative during its 69th annual meeting Wednesday night at Central High School. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/adams-electric-THUR
