When residents of Northwest Florida were first notified of a merger between Gulf Power and Florida Power and Light we were led to believe the increase would be about $15 for the average customer. Now as our bills roll in from FPL people are reporting double and even triple their electric bill. The residents of this community were misled and lied to about how this merger would affect us. There are many residents in this community living on fixed income such as Social Security. Should they have to choose between being warm or having their electric cut off? Should they have to choose between being able to run their electricity and putting food on the table? The answer is no! I urge the people of this community to share & sign this petition. Let's stand together against what is being forced on us. What they are doing should be illegal!
