Recently,

We, the people and surrounding areas of Lehigh Acres received a surprise, increased light bills.  The bills which have been provided by LCEC have been an absurd amount and some individuals who are working families cannot afford to pay them.

LCEC stated that the rate increases have been due to natural gas prices and summer heat they had to increase the rates.

Lee County is providing assistance to low income families who qualify, but some of the working families may not qualify for this assistance.  Where is the help for the working families when it comes to keeping the lights on literally?

Of course,  the climate change is a major factor, but someone needs to round table this matter ASAP, and assist those who cannot afford these outrageous light bills.  Otherwise, we will have to resort to caveman days and burn some candles.��
