Friend --
As Louisiana prepares to enter the most active
weeks of the hurricane season, an Entergy representative has
stated the
public should be prepared to go without power for up to 21
days in the event a Category 4 storm hits the area.
If that wasn't outrageous enough, Entergy is asking for a
rate increase and for our help cleaning up their
mess, even though they reported a record $1.4 billion in
profit last year.
Entergy New Orleans has asked for a rate hike of $150
million, and has asked the Public Service Commission for rate
hikes across the state.
It's time to take action and tell Entergy & our elected
officials, including Public Service Commision reps, to
stop passing the buck to us.
Neither New Orleans City Council nor Entergy came up with the idea
to enact a shut-off moratorium out of sheer benevolence. They
agreed in response to pressure from citizens and
ratepayers.
Join us TODAY Monday, 8/1 at 6pm at Entergy New
Orleans HQ. 639 Loyola Ave.
Can't come today? Take 5 mins at send an email to your elected
officials demanding NO RATE HIKES be granted to
Entergy Louisiana or it's subsidiaries. Click the image below or visit
