Read moreSteve Altman, left, president of Brown & Borelli Oil Co., presents a $5,000 donation on behalf of his company to Shauna Porter, local Salvation Army service center director, for the county utility assistance fund. Altman, who has made previous donations on behalf of Altman Engineering, is urging other oil companies and royalty owners benefiting from higher natural gas prices to share their bounty with utility customers who are struggling with soaring costs. September electric bills that went out last week from the Kingfisher Public Works Authority included a power cost adjustment of nearly 4.5 cents per kWh, 1.5 cents higher than last month.
