Ditto to all of the above.
“And the meter goes ’round and ’round! Whoah-oh-oh! Whoah-oh-oh!”
It seems like nothing ever changes. After working as an I&E Technician at ECUA for 15 years, I left the area for a better opportunity in 2012. Most of the key people calling the shots when I left are STILL running the show. This is totally ridiculous.
The ECUA board is elected to oversee a state-run utility that serves YOUR community. Why do y’all keep voting for these professional politicians as opposed to concerned citizens? Start barking at your State Representatives to bring about changes on how YOU want YOUR utility run.
It is time for term limits at ECUA too. Gov. DeSantis needs to make that happen. ECUA is just as bad about raising rates as FPL has done.
I guess it would against some law for the citizens to vote in and out .
This now is like the fox voting in which hens and roosters that would play the game.
RIGHT RaD SAME OL SAME AND RAISE THE COST // CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE
It’s a shame that vicki campbell was reelected.
Really that any of them would ever be.
Sounds like the Status Quo is still in effect. The famous definition of Insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results) must apply to the ECUA. That being said and considering what inflation has been running, expect a 10% increase in all utilities sometime this coming year.
