No government official, not the governor, not the PUC, not anyone has held them accountable. Only the bankruptcy judge has stood up to their ways. I say they need to be broken up and we need to rethink the entire power grid.

Turning off the power like we're a Third World country is totally unacceptable.

Plus, acting US Customs and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli intentionally misstated and misrepresented what the plaque on the Statue of Liberty reads. The beacon of liberty darkens under this administration.
