Centerpoint needs to make these changes without it costing us more money. These people don’t deserve to be paid so much or given their crazy bonuses.

Politicians know very well the root of this fiasco is monopoly. Amy why don’t you explore the issue and reveal who are against breaking the monopoly?

People suggesting they have no power and that's not good enough

Texas Gov Abbott and the entire Texas Gov't has deflected their responsibility for this failure. Yep, and the customer pays. Closed system criminality all'round.
