On October 13th I received a letter from Alliant Energy personally inviting me to a town hall meeting on October 19 at the North Tama Activity Center at 6:30 p.m. They also told of their many years of expertise with the natural gas. They also said, which I noticed, was a 19 percent drop in gas ...
Dear Traer,Clayton Energy is a full-service gas natural gas supplier. What does that mean? Clayton secures the natural gas supply directly from companies drilling for the supply, transports it through the interstate natural gas pipeline directly to the city. Clayton also understands the needs ...
To the Citizens of Traer,There are lots of fun hobbies. Some people play golf, some people bowl and some go to polka dances. I have a unique hobby. I attend most of the monthly meetings of the Traer City Council, the Traer Municipal Utilities and the North Tama Board of Education. This "hobby" ...
The little pump dispenser sat on the sink in my bathroom for more than a month before I noticed the label. I hadn't read it at the store; just pulled the liquid hand soap off the shelf and threw it into my cart without paying much attention. Hand soap is hand soap, right?It turns out I hit the ...

A yes vote does not determine that the gas franchise is a good deal for Traer. A yes vote is required so we can find out the sum of money NEEDED to pay Alliant for the pipes and meters. The question then is will the income from gas bills we pay be enough to pay off the cost of the gas bond used ...
There isn't much that makes my husband nervous. Heck, he's raised four teenagers, which included teaching three of them (so far) to drive. Anyone who can do that can do anything. Or practically anything.I'm confident in him. He isn't. Not always. Not last weekend. Not when it comes to new ...
It's no secret; technology is changing the way we do things. I don't trust myself to get dressed in the morning before checking my weather apps (I have three). And I'm not sure how I survived prior to having the find my family app at my fingertips.But retailers are attempting to influence us in ...
