OMG, finally we have a manager at EWEB that puts the customers first?   When will wonders ever cease?  It would seem that there is now someone in charge at EWEB who lives in the real world.

It is shocking, though, how the Register Guard acts as an apologist for EWEB, and continues to refuse to compare electrical and water rates between EWEB and the Springfield Utility Board, which operates only a few miles away.    Bills for both electricity and water in Springfield are dramatically lower than what EWEB charges. 

How this gross mismanagement at EWEB has been able to go on for so very long, is very difficult to understand.   The Register Guard clearly dropped the ball in its obligation to do what is right for the public in its reporting, and instead has catered to protecting EWEB's image in its news coverage for many years.

Now if we could only get a management change at the RG, and get someone put in charge there who also puts the public interest first.
