Longview News-Journal
QUESTION: I saw the February story in the News-Journal about how ongoing electric regulation in this area helped prevent the electricity disaster that occurred in much of the rest of the unregulated portions of the state, where people can choose their electric provider.
The story focused on SWEPCO and how competition has been delayed here for years because the company s prices couldn t be beat. I was curious - how do electric cooperatives factor into that picture in our area?
ANSWER: So, it would have been helpful if I had explained all of this in that original story, and I apologize for that.
