We’ve launched a public petition calling on the Illinois Commerce Commission and state leaders to stop the flat utility fee imposed on small businesses and sole proprietors.

This policy unfairly charges neighborhood businesses the same as large chains, can nearly double monthly bills, and threatens the survival of local businesses.

Working With Small Business Advocates

We are working with the Small Business Advocacy Council (SBAC), a statewide organization representing Illinois small businesses, to help bring concerns about the ICC’s flat utility fee to policymakers in Springfield, the state capitol.

Working With Local Business Organizations

We have met with the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce to share concerns about the ICC’s flat utility fee and its impact on neighborhood small businesses. The Chamber has been engaged in discussions about how this issue affects local businesses and the broader community.
