Write those thoughts to your local newspaper editor and see if you get

the Editorial page in my area.(suburban Chicago). Utilities are
sensitive to public opinion, in my experioence, and if they are made
to look bad in print, they are more likely to respond.

I like that idea. Thanks.

I'm still waiting for the name of the actual electric company that
charges
$25 a month for a meter rental. Until then, call me skeptical.

It's probably how they charge for billing.

Our's is $32 a month whether I use any electricity or not.
I guess you could call it meter and drop wire rental. ;-)

I'm quite sure that's what the real deal is. Gotta make the customers think
they're paying for something other than junk mail. ;-)
