One of the cities needing relief from the current astronomical prices is the city of Cheney. The whole year of 2020 the city of Cheney said they spent 256,000 dollars on natural gas. With the huge spike in prices, just in the month of February, the total amount is looking to be a million dollars. A huge expense for a city of just over two thousand people. “We need help it’s not just the city asking for help we are asking for help from our businesses and our customers,” said Danielle Young, Cheney City Administrator. When the price of natural gas started its dramatic and rapid rise, Young started crunching the numbers. “The reality of sending out these bills is just disheartening I don’t know what to tell customers other than we are doing everything that we possibly can to get the higher-ups to understand our situation,” said Young.
