We are elderly and on a fixed income. The $300-plus monthly electric bill is difficult to pay during the summer months. Recently, we replaced the roof on our 1200 square foot house with a better ventilation system, yet the first warm weather month shows no savings from this investment.

Currently, Grand Saline residents are locked into a contract with one electric provider that is far more expensive than many other options available. In today's economy, citizens should have the right to choose their electric company to find more affordable rates.

By ending the exclusive contract with this single provider and allowing competition in Grand Saline, residents can benefit from lower prices and better service options. Please sign this petition to support our right to choose our electric providers and alleviate financial burdens for many families like ours.
