Maybe the Canadian owners can bring down our high electric bills...good luck.Electric utilities are monopolies.It's not rocket science. Overpaid staff...using the accepted practice of paying comparable salaries.Randy wish folks in Joplin would realize Empire District used our money to enhance their power in town(spelled contributions).Same game is played at Freeman with their million dollar CEO and her well paid COO.The Globe will never run negative news about Freeman or rarely Empire.. they don't want to lose ad revenue.Meanwhile the public gets Empire's high rates and Freeman providing areas of excellence but many second/third rate.
