" Amazingly after this deal was worked through I lost power in rain this AM for 3 hrs along with 6,000+ other Ameren customers. "

" HOW IS THIS HELPING AFTER WE GET THE CHECKS? Our rates will still be jacked up. This is nothing more than a political smoke screen used by OUR politicians to hide the fact that their hands are in the back pockets of the power companies and they are not doing their job. THIS STATE IS PREPOSTEROUS! "

" I hope everyone votes for the new guy on the ballot for the next election. Maybe we can get things cleaned up before they get corrupted by Corprate (I can't say America) unAmerica. The government is for the PEOPLE not the individual and I think we need to stand together and get it back to what it should be. "

" My electric rates increasedy by 100%. If I get a $100 refund, that comes no where close to what I paid in increases. This bogus refund scheme all looks like a big smoke screen to hide the fact that Ameren and ComEd are getting away with a lot more than what it looks like. "

" The small cash refunds will not even come close to the extra amount we paide due to the huge increase. If I understand correctly the rate will be the same inflated rate we are now paying plus it will be subject to continued annual increases. How is this supposed to help us? "

" This is the best they can do? I can wait to vite GOP for the first time in State Politics next year. Bring on anyone other than the current incumbents. Let's see if Ameren continues to line their pockets when they're unemployed! Of course all of my state legislators are GOP so that won't make a difference. I just hope Chicago wakes up. "

" Maybe they could discuss and act upon something truly important; such as passing Concealed Carry for Illinois residents. "

" Can't wait to get my $1 billion! Thank you, Rod! "

" Wow I can't wait either for my $100.00 from Ameran. Makes a person sick while the CEO's get a whopping huge bonus check. And our state leader waste thousands of dollars each day flying and driving back and forth to work (per say) each day working on the budget. (So they say). This does not even touch the raise in our electric bill since January so why did they waste all this time bickering about this. They should have been getting the budget passed so our lovely state goverment does not shut down. Of course this will not affect any of the pigs that set in the capital robbing us each and everyday. But anyway hope when you go to bed tonight you all can sleep well with you pockets and bank accounts full of money. While us working class continue to stay up nights wondering how we are going to pay for the luxury of having lights. "

" they say now we may get $80 rebate checks, big deal that's far less tahn 1 months electric bill and this is relief? i call it a slap in the face. maybe it's time after living here 49 years to try another state to live in "

" I got a $50 credit last month from ComEd. So my total electric bill for the month was $6. I'm glad I don't live in B-N anymore. My electric bills when I lived there were the highest of anywhere I've ever lived. "

" I can see them now. all these Illinois lawmakers jumping up and down, squealing with glee, waving around fistfuls of bribe money. Oops, I mean campaign contributions. This bunch has lost all moral authority. There has to be some kind of pay-back. "

" I have paid about 1300.00 more on electric this year then last year. I can't wait to get my 100.00. It will pay for about 4 days of my next electric bill. I am also looking forward to the next election. "
