As part of an initiative by Ameren Corp., thousands of compact
fluorescent light bulbs were distributed to lawmakers, to be given
away to constituents. The energy-efficient bulbs can last from seven
to 10 years. "Anyone who would like to receive one of these light
bulbs can come to my office and pick one up," Mitchell said. "These
light bulbs provide a 75 percent energy savings compared to regular
bulbs and could result in a savings of $36 over the life of the
bulb. Energy efficiency is very important these days, and these
light bulbs are one small step people can take to reduce their
electrical consumption."
Mitchell added that senior citizens will receive first priority
for the free energy-efficient light bulbs. Mitchell's district
office is at 332 W. Marion, Suite N1, in Forsyth. The office is open
Monday through Friday during normal business hours. The phone number
is 217-876-1968.
