LP&L comments

Jim Gatteys

I'm just catching up on comments and the like but I am puzzled about something that was said the other night during the special city council meeting. Maybe this has been discussed here and I just haven't read it. LPandL said they did not charge for online users to make payment arrangements. I've looked on their page and can't find anywhere you can make payment arrangements online. Am I just overlooking it or do they just not know what the hell is going on in their company? I don't need to make arrangements but i think its pretty crappy if they say you can do that online when you can't, but if that's the case then I'm glad they stated that publicly to let us know what fools they are.

Anthony Hewetson

I was one of the first people to complain to LP&L, the Mayor's office, and the media. I paid my July bill on time and my check was cashed. Today I got a call saying that I was overdue and that if I didn't get in touch with LP&L immediately (as if that is possible, given the standard wait times for LP&L customer service) my account was going to be turned over to a collection agency.
...
I contacted LP&L and they said that I had been called in error, that I had paid my bill on time, that they had cashed my check in time, and that my current balance was $0.00. What had happened, according to the customer service person I talked to, was that somebody else had set up an account using my phone number.

I don't want to sound paranoid but, as a fairly prominent complainant, I am wondering if this is retaliatory. It, quite frankly, sounds bogus. Has anybody else had a similar experience? If so, I would like to know about. Any pattern of harassment, if that is what is happening, should be reported to the Mayor's office.

Two examples of why LP&L is unpopular. It is time that the city council "clean up" the LP&L mess.

Weeds Everywhere

  Lubbock has been blessed with recent rainfall. As I type just now the clouds are "grumbling" with thunder. City,county and TxDot seem to "care less" about the weeds on the side of roads. The excuses are so plentiful that it's disgusting. Myself and my "good neighbors" voluntarily mow ditches and other places to prevent insects from congregating in overgrown weeds. One can call the county,city codes ad or even TxDot and find the lazy phone operators with countless excuses for not mowing tall grass or weeds. Our government can afford expensive cop cars,overpriced help but can't keep their own yards or roads mowed.

Charles Ward of IHATELP&L REVEALED

  Charles Ward is involved in the IHateLP&L movement. Mr.Ward is nothing more than a "longhair" with a big mouth. Mr.Ward has even took to spreading untruth about this editor claiming I was arrested for a "terrorist threat" to city hall. Mr.Ward is not to be taken seriously and should be shunned. Mr.Ward is another "big mouth" cut from the same cloth as James Clark. Mr.Ward claims that many people had their electric bills "double" for same amount of usage but couldn't produce any documentation. It's believed the "doubled" electric bills were because usage doubled. Mr.Ward appears to be a "gadfly" and creature of Facebook. This editor spied on IHateLP&L before discovering they were "bogus complainers" and possibly "off-the-wall" republicans.

  Another Phony Exposed!!

TXDot,road repair and tax dollars

  Rick Perry continues to prod elected officials with yet another special session trying to finance Texas roads&highways. The infrastructure is a giant suction cup attached to taxpayers wallets. Some legislators want a Texas constitutional amendment to siphon oil&gas taxes from the rainy day fund to TXDot general revenue fund. Texas has better roads than most states and government continues to throw money at "rigged" bids for upgrades not really needed. Cities and counties even match state funds to waste tax dollars. Fixing potholes and guardrails should be top priority but widening roads should be on an as needed basis. State taxpayers are tapped out and road repair should be lowered to essential need only.

The Death Of Public Servant Attitude at City of Lubbock

  I learned from "DAD" Burnett that working for the government was a "public servant" job. He taught me that being a public servant meant calling people "ma'am","sir" etc. "DAD" did it for 28 years. I worked at LP&L(1 year),Lubbock Airport(1 year) and TTUHSC(8 years). The "Burnetts" left public service in the 80's. I've now learned that creeps like Glen Robertson,Todd Klein,Karen Gibson know nothing about being a public servant. The three I just named had me arrested last year by the LPD "thugs" for simply trying to attend an open meeting. Today's government workers are drunks,dopers,sluts and anything else they choose to be. LP&L workers are as "low as they can go". I've seen city workers shopping on company time,rat-racing in city cars and simply loafing in uniform at local stores. City workers aren't the only "trash" on the public payroll. City workers seem to be the most visible and unprofessional. Being a public servant used to be an honor and duty. Now public servants are nothing more than public leeches. There may be some decent hardworking city employees. I worked at the landfill and the trash truck drivers seemed OK. The problem is elected officials are so tolerant of LPD "thugs" and LP&L "shitheads" that tolerance leads to approval of bad conduct. My home town has become the "Shithead Capitol" with a "Country Club" mayor for a lead "shithead".

  Hold Thy Nose,It's "Shithead", Texas(Lubick)!!

  This editor believes drivers in Lubbock drive too fast and do not need to. Mr.Barber was killed near Denny's at 50th&Slide. The Comer family must be grief-stricken and I feel their pain. No words could ever soothe anyone's grief after a tragedy of this nature.

  WT Free Press sends it's regrets to Chris&Stacy Comer. May Louis fly with the angels.

Feminism Surfaces At KFYO website

  The "pantywaste" alleged men at KFYO website are now promoting Latrelle Joy and Karen Gibson. These two broads are unfit to serve anyone as a waitress much less an elected official. The "fatboys" at KFYO are now hopping on the damn feminism train that needs to be sidetracked ASAP.

Raycom and Dish Network

  Today Dish network disconnected Raycom(Ch.11) in the same fashion they disconnected Ramar stations earlier this year. Dish is right to hold these local stations to a reasonable rate increase. Ch.11 can ill-afford to not be on Dish with their lousy reception over-the-air. Dan Jackson's plea to get viewers to call dish is not going to work.
