** Utility charges
When I received my utility bill from January, I was frustrated at the amount. Then I saw it was for 34 days. This isn't fair. There's 31 days in the longest month. Why did they charge people for those extra days? Can't someone look into this and give us an explanation? This happens every year on January and July's billing.
** Clothing
Yes, this is to the person in Speak Out talking about the clothing that people get donated then they charge people for it. Well, they can come down to Unity Baptist Church at Benton, Missouri. The clothing (there) is donated, and they don't charge anything for it, the clothing. You can come there and talk to someone. But they do have the clothing. There's not a cost or anything. It's free.

** Food costs
Two years ago, we were just past having a drought, and agricultural commodities like corn and soybeans were very expensive. And everybody was saying the price of groceries was going to go up, because corn and soybeans were expensive. They were right. Groceries did go up. Now, corn and soybeans are about half price. And what's happening in the grocery store? Prices are still going up. It didn't make a bit of difference. Even diesel fuel is down. And the price of groceries is still going up. Actually, food companies charge whatever the consumer will pay.
** AP test
Thank you for clarifying the nature of dual enrollment high school credit. You may receive credit for those classes at, say, SEMO, but if you want to get college or university credit for Mizzou or other universities outside the immediate area, you would need to take an AP (Advanced Placement) course and pass an AP exam. Indeed, there is some evidence indicating that the more AP courses offered by a high school, the better overall education results.
