Yes I call them Memphis , Light Gas and Robbers but it is a business and it can not run on hope and dreams. Times are hard for a lot of people but A lot of people like to scam and not pay which make it hard for those who really need help. The funds just aren't there like it use to be to help. People promise to pay and never pay. We just hae to do what we can to help each other.

People like this need to be transitioned into public housing. MLG&W was not chartered to be a charity, regardless of the yakking of elected officials like Janis.
