The adjustment allows Aquila to use the wholesale price of natural gas to update consumer bills from month to month.
Aquila's purchased gas adjustment clause allows the company to pass onto customers any price change in the cost of natural gas. Conversely, it can also allow Aquila to decrease customer's bills when natural gas prices are low. Long said.
"That's insane," Pachefsky said of the increases. "This winter is almost over, but there are a lot of people who have to live paycheck to paychee, so it really sucks for them."

Pachefsky said that his parents took care of many of his expenses, including utilities, but he said he tried to learn from his roommate just how important it was to be conscientious about bills.
"Kids aren't responsible. They should have a class on it or something," Pachefsky said.

The class aims to help people to better understand their own sexuality. Organizers in the committee brought Dailey to the ECM for students and nonstudents alike to have a place to talk about sexuality, a rare opportunity in an academic setting.
Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at the ECM, said he believed the church had a responsibility to aid in understanding of human sexuality. Discontinuing the course would eliminate the only such sexuality class in Lawrence.
"We think it's so important
to have a place to talk about sexuality and sex," Holcombe said.
Anyone can enroll in the course up through the first class period on Thursday. Classes run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m Thurdays. The class will meet for 10 sessions. Enrollment is $40 for students and $50 for nonstudents. The course is non-credit.
