A special committee has been formed by Covington Mayor Sam Ramsey to examine possibilities for alleviating the financial strain on Covington residents who struggle to pay their utility bills. At Monday night's city council meeting, Ramsey brought forward the idea of forming a committee to find out if there were a legal way for the city of Covington to put in place a program similar to that of Snapping Shoals EMC's Operation Round Up program. "I see a great need for people for help with utilities," Ramsey said.
