Did you lose your medicine or groceries in this outage?
It's day 4 and some of our neighbors are still without power. Why does this keep happening? Because DTE spends millions on lobbying and PAC contributions to the same elected officials who are supposed to hold them accountable, including our own state rep. Alabas Farhat. As you can see above he has a 91% rating from DTE as one of their strongest allies in Lansing.
When the people writing the rules are taking money from the company they're regulating, is it any surprise the rate hikes keep getting approved while reliability doesn't improve?
We deserve a state rep who works for us, not for DTE's shareholders. Not someone cashing utility PAC checks while our lights are out and groceries are spoiling.
