ROTFLMAO!!!
During a major hurricane here recently the local power company repaired NOTHING. They were
totally unprepared. We waited two weeks with no power until power companies came from other states to do the repair work. Their overpaid flunkies stood around supervising - collecting fat salaries to look important.
The utility was so grossly incompetent (despite receiving continual rate and service increases) that they were recently taken over by a power company from a neighboring state.

Simply not true, as any search of public records will show.

Maybe not in your state, but in mine they are given whatever they want. They take the money and neglect required maintenance - then they come back asking for even
more money - and they always get it.
