Below is the draft of a letter I have written to the Florida Public Service Commission. I will bring this item to this Thursday's BCC meeting. This is the draft of a letter I discussed with the board at our March 24th meeting and at which time I received the approval from my peers to draft for their consideration at this meeting.
This is all about the FPL rate increases and the hardship this issue is bringing to many of the citizens and businesses we serve.
This is just a draft. My counterparts may suggest edits, revisions, or even that we not send a letter. We will see what the discussion on this topic leads to this Thursday--at which point we will do what the majority of commissioners feel is most appropriate.
For my part I am open to any suggestions from the board--no pride of authorship issues here at all.
Here is the draft letter and one attachement, below:
Thank you so much for doing this in your capacity as Chair, Commissioner Bergosh. And thank you for asking them to hold the meeting in Escambia County, where it will be accessible for more residents. I see that Gulf Breeze is the newest municipality to join in the chorus of local governments demanding answers on how this contract was ever allowed; numerous whacked out and unexplained abnormalities of billing, consumption, and delivery; and in many cases non-existent customer service. Hopefully the economic catastrophe this has resulted in for so many will not continue unabated for much longer with people's suffering falling on deaf ears.
ReplyDeleteAny word on whether our delegation has done a thing to actually represent their consituents on this issue? Apart from two of them being allowed to vote "no" on the net metering bill after the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House had gotten sufficient head counts on the votes.
Honestly, I don't know what is going on with people complaining about large bills, since the switch one bill was same as last year, and the recent one was lower, anecdotally. The main change we made was a mini split through the wall heat pump prior to all this and lowered the overall house temp for heating.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much!!!

Love it " You don't bother coming to agenda review.. for input.. just vote against it.nobody cares [to know why nor why not]" paraphrased. Got that right. Had enough hot air blown around.
