It's Entergy being greedy is the problem


No, it’s the LPSC that rubber stamps every increase presented to them by these companies

It’s the LPSC that’s worthless.

That too. Probably because they receive some kind of benefit (under the table) in return.

And then they want to insult us by preaching that we should be more conscious of how we use our A/C and to turn it up to 80 degrees.

I had to pay a record bill for service in June like everyone else.

Here’s my take; three major canes hit testing up all the infrastructure. The power companies had to r’m react immediately. People demand power.

I saw hundreds of bucket trucks mobilized to do that. Those men have to be paid. They have to be fed and sheltered. Overtime had to be paid. We have to have power.

Natural gas prices shot up. June was hit as hell. It was the worst case scenario.

Now did the PSC protect our interests? Did they give Entergy a fair profit and no more? I don’t know, but that’s their job. But they live in La. andI know what goes on. I know the meeting they had the other day was a sham. It was done to tell folks the PSC cares but rates were already set and approved months ago.

There is no free lunch. But we don’t went to pay for a Chris’ steak and get served one from Bonanza either. Is the PSC doing their job? Entergy is. For the most part anyway.

Well the LPSC members can get contributions from the people they regulate, so know why they may sound like they are for you but vote for their interest in contributions.

There should be an ethics rule that they cannot receive contributions from industries they regulate. Also, that goes to employees and owners in the industries they regulate, where you can’t go around the contribution exemption by allowing a business owner or employee make the same structured donations.
