Florida Power and Light Representatives Speak at Last Night's D1 Townhall in Beulah

Although it is an issue that the Board of County Commissioners does not control--I know citizens are frustrated and concerned about the rate hikes from Florida Power and Light. I've received irate (and that is the censored version) phone calls and emails from constituents I serve wanting answers and information.

So I invited representatives from Florida Power and Light to attend last night's District 1 townhall in Beulah. And Rick Byars, Becca Boles, and Sandy Sims from Florida Power and Light came and discussed this very issue at length with the citizens and staff who attended the town hall.

For those who missed the event or who are interested in seeing the questions and answers, the video of the town hall is linked, below. (FPL rate discussion begins at minute 35:00)
