DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. When a February ice storm hit Virginia, tens of thousands of Southside Electric Cooperative (SEC) members lost power. For thousands of members, that outage lasted more than a week.
The CBS 6 Problem Solvers heard from countless frustrated members who were upset with SEC leaders.
They wondered how 81 percent of SEC s members could lose power and be out for so long and asked the Problem Solvers to investigate a number of questions about preventative maintenance, vegetation management, and compensation for board members and the president.
