Blame the people that are suppose to look out for the consumer. i.e. The Florida Public Service Commission For either not vetting GP's reasons for the needed increases. Or for taking bribes and payoffs to approve the increases. Don’t blame Gulf Power for the increase(s).

Where is the increase for people on SSI? This just took that away with their rate increase! I think it is time for some competition in Escambia County for electric customers!

This is what monopolies do, manipulate higher costs without justification. This reminds me of when the price of oil goes down and the price of gas goes up.

It seems like a cruel monopoly to me. If the price really is necessary, then I wouldn't complain, yet I feel like we are forced into being limited. This is definitely not the future I was promised when I was born in the 1970's. I thought warfare and all that was supposed to bring us freedom.
