Thousands sign petition demanding Lakeland Electric make utility prices more affordable

HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS LAKELANDERS!!! IN THEIR GREEDY POCKETS. START SHUTTING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. IF YOU GET A HIGH BILL, YOU WILL KNOW FRAUDLENT PLAY IS AT HAND!!!

🤔🤔 I CALL BS!!!! SO BASICALLY LAKELAND COMMISSION TOLD LAKELANDERS TO GO EFF THEMSELVES… 🙄GO FIGURE! LAKELANDERS MUST DO MORE THAN SIGN A PETITION IF RHEY WANT THEIR VOICES HEARD👂🏼

Thought you all claimed your off the grid system was better? More effective and cheaper right? LMAO 🤣Hilarious
Karma is amazing 👏😉

I will sign the petition, ours was 800 dollars last month, ridiculous. They wouldn't give us an extension either. That's why we are late on rent because of our light bill. They could care less, I don't ever see them out here checking the meters either..Someone please help, thank you..

And on top of that they won't give you an extension and they expect it to be paid on a Wednesday or Thursday knowing that people don't get paid until Friday. It's only me and my son that lives here. No way it should be so high.!! They know you need lights and you have to pay it. They have no heart at all for people..

Buy solar

Why do residents have to pay to refill their reserves? Not our problem. Most of us out here have seen our savings dwindle to nothing after being bashed with increases from everywhere. We can't put our hands out for refills so neither should they.

Quit voting Democrat. They are cheering the higher prices with glee and worry more about pronouns than actually running a government.

Whoever finds this comment… May you always remember how much you are loved and appreciated in this world. Keep your head up; you're doing fantastically well, and I'm very proud of you.

🤣🤣🤣 Ms. Cashman-Crespo is very cute 😍, but That's not how it works.

Thank you Governor DeSantis

Unfortunately that's what you get when people voted in this administration in the white house. I'm in PA and mines gone up also.. Good luck

Please do the same with Tampa. This is ridiculous!

LET'S GO BRANDON

Why don't you blame the White House

Maybe our awesome governor should be tackling the affordability crisis instead of flying immigrants to Massachusetts

Heard Lakeland electric went up 75% that's a lot, these aren't just small increases…shame on these people

This is absolutely horrifying!! I use to live in Lakeland!!

The kilowatt hour cost is 20% higher. This is due to the stupidity of the Biden/Obama idiot energy policy which is inflationary and causes energy costs to rise. The utilities cost of natural gas to run the power plants has increased dramatically due to the failed energy policy. These people should send their petition to the White House. It would be ignored, but that is the root of the problem. It's only going to get worse.

SEND YOUR MONEY TO UKRAINE 💀

Aahhh capitalism!!!! I love it 😍

400 a month, I would be using candles

Its the same with PSE&G. We haven't even been home and when we are its during the day so we don't use lights mainly sleep because we're always at work. And if we do use a lamp, we have the battery operated lanterns that light up the room so I don't understand what's going on. We were looking forward to it dropping alot and instead we got an even higher bill. Absolutely ridiculous

I read about a man in his 50s that started investing in stock and real estate, then retired in 2 years with over $6million, and that's is my utmost goal and I would really appreciate clues and tips on how to reach this goal within 5years. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies BTC,ETH,SOL…

My state doesn't rip people off.

To make a change, we're going to have to start moving to off-grid type life. Seriously, if people are able, wire in low-voltage and use Solar Power to generate the necessary power for storage batteries. Sounds crazy?? Go to YouTube and look it up, MANY are doing JUST that!!

They also want an efficient government.

I agree & this should BE Florida wide too FPL & Duke are no better! 😳

We have to understand that Utility companies have children and they need to feed their kids too so they hAVE to raise prices in order to feed their kid. We need to show compassion for them and pay what they are owed.
