How LP&L really works

  Many city residents are "clueless" about how LP&L works. LP&L is in fact a separate entity from the city. It does have a electric board just like the water department board. All members are appointed with 4 or more votes of the city council. The LP&L board is an "advisory" board. They are not like a board of directors as in Con-Ed. The LP&L board drafts proposals,usually formulated by LP&L bureaucrats,and then they submit said proposals to the city council. LP&L board are nothing more than "puppets" for the CEO and subordinates. Recently a 33% increase in the "baserate" for KWH(usage) was presented by LP&L board and approved by the Lubbock City Council. It was disguised as a 9.7% increase when in reality it was a 33% increase from the previous year's July rate. The vote was 6-1(Mayor "Country Club" was the 1 no vote"). This means EVERY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER voted for the monster increase in the baserate. The LP&L board only recommended the "rip-off" the city council enacted the scam.
