Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

I did an analysis for the old Utility Board (aka City Council) showing evidence that my Denver rates were a 120% increase over my Colorado Springs rates during the same 3 years. Additionally, Colorado Springs Utilities is one of the top rated utilities (based on rate affordability, reliability, and customer service) by J.D. Power and Associates. This evidence is obviously contrary to claims made by some in this thread.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

And Louis, I need a zip code to compare offers on your site. And realize, picking a utility provider like this involves signing a contract much like cell phone service. Decide to break the contract and pay a penalty.

Also, when you have a provider that doesn't have a vested interest in the distribution system to your home...good luck when the lights go out.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

Still nothing but cheap talk TT. You've made a lot of big claims...but absolutely nothing to back them up...because you have nothing to back them up...just made up claims....pulled out of where? Even your strong mayor has back pedaled.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

You utility guys are desperate to protect your gold mine, and are easily moved to anger when that fiefdom is challenged.

But we the owners (you are employees of a publicly owned entity) are sick of seeing you driving around in your trucks below the speed limit talking to your girl friends on your cell phones, and watching you all stand around doing nothing at a job site, and listening to the baloney and lies spewed by your boss.

We want this scam cleaned up and will demand it...and all my info comes from people on the inside afraid of the wrath of your mafia style leadership.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

No, talk is cheap. Put up or shut up. Post your evidence or quit spreading more mis--information and lies. Nice the way you always spout off...when you have no clue what you're even talking about. Tech my ass.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

My info comes from people who own properties from both here and Denver who say their rates are higher In Colorado Springs.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

You too TT...talk is cheap as usual. Put up the Denver electric rate comparison and be sure to compare total cost apples to apples.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

Denver has lower rates...and just wait until his natural gas cock up hits the news and arrives in our mail boxes.

He is a sleaze ball of the first order. Check out his loafers and silk coats.

Re: “Springs Utilities: Not for sale

Tejon Tech - you need to further educate yourself. Forte is not sleezy and is extremely effective at running his organization. He has kept our rates low and sustained our community asset.
