The question that eludes most consumers of LW electric is the fact why are they once again looking to fill this position. How many engineers have held this opening during the last 10 year timeframe? With all the workload proposed by the utility a stable workforce is essential to a coherent plan and it's execution. Why is it so difficult for LW to retain qualified employees, is the commission and/or the EUAB asking the right questions as to the nature of the extremely high turn over in an industry that traditionally has very high retention rates. This is one more indication that the electric utility is a mismanaged money pit based on incompetence with no indication of needed changes. SELL THE UTILITY.
I can't understand the apathy shown by the ratepayers, millions of dollars have been squandered and people don't care, incredible. Have you heard anything about 6 million dollars that somehow disappeared???? Only in LW.
The former chair of the Electric Utility Task Force says it is closer to $8 million that went missing.
We have a commission more interested in social issues, parades, economic growth at the expense of a neighborhood, shiny objects and traveling.
They are reducing the cost of electricity, one way to eventually stop the waste but it is impossible to even get the kwh cost of power from when we had FMPA to OUC to see if we are indeed saving money. Since we can't get the figure, one can only assume that there is no savings at all. Maybe it's costing us money.
