At 1 point we had a collaborative effort w/Roger Moon's students. It could have been ongoing and mutually beneficial for Drama students and CCMHC Group staff. Kudos to Legacy paying attn to common themes & realizing the power of Prevention. Change INput to increase OUT put. We have lost too many youth, young adults needlessly.

The 1st day the price gouging started why didn't anyone of them at least notify residents to cut their usage to save $$$$$$$$$$$$?. According to the city manager the rate is 25 times normal; that means if a family had been able to cut $40 off their usage it would have saved them $1,000 on their utility bill. That part is on them and they should all resign .

If weather does not develop you are stuck with above market priced gas that you don't need. All plan to react to weather swings purchasing or selling at daily prices. That is how the deregulated market operates.

I think it’s pretty obvious. Or heck you can put that on the record,” he said. “I think it’s clear. Something had to have happened.” --The only something that has to happen now is your resignation followed by that of director of utilities and a "mayor"-- "City officials have researched other polar vortexes that have hit in the past twenty years. In one instance natural gas peaked at $31 a unit, another time the price hit $18 a unit." --Can anyone tell me who the city manager, mayor, and natural gas czar were???-- Gus, Taggart, Greg do us all a favor and leave your current positions! You have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that you are not capable of leading.

ACPD likes to take their sweet time and wait until everything is over and everyone is gone and then show up to take reports. What happened a while back when that dude went into the PD with an axe? They had to call in SWAT because they were too scared to defend their own spot. Yeah great idea let's call the police department that has crazy high turnover rates. I wonder why that is?

Notifying customers of the insane price hike and price gouging even a couple of days sooner could have saved residents hundreds of f$$$$$ given that even a $ 5 reduction in usage translates to $ 125 using the mayors 25X estimation formula. That alone should get him fired. TIme for the entire city commission and the mayor to RESIGN !!!!!!!!!!

Enough of job placement due to friends in high places. The Mayor of Winfield should be voted in by his/her constituents every two years, not appointed. City Manager should have a peer review by members of the community every Nov. in general election. Just like our local and state judges. If under 50% do not approve, then I'm sorry, we need to look at changes. I'm not picking on certain people, just asking generalized questions. Do not blame price gouging. Our city leaders SIGNED AND AGREED to an energy agreement and are tied to it. Legal documents are binding. Do you really think a lobbyist who has his/her pockets lined with energy money is going to save us? Roger Marshall is making friends, Cheryl Helmer misses votes, Mrs. Liberal in Topeka is more concerned with legal weed and keeping NE Kansas blue! Good luck Winfield! WE WILL ALL NEED IT!!!

Or do you all seem to think that you are the judge jury and executioner? Don't the Police in your minds exist? Or have you seen too many movies? This isn't Hollywood a stray bullet will kill.

That is no "protecting your customers.” An investigation needs to be done to hold the price gouges responsible! If customers had been notified of their intention to raise prices at that level we could have all winterized our homes and found alternative housing in the bigger cities where they obviously have more clout than these small towns. I forsee a class action lawsuit if this bill is passed onto customers!
