Mayor addresses outage outcry

Responding to the public’s frustrations with record-breaking power outages caused by storms in the past five months, Mayor Jerry Abramson is telling the head of Louisville Gas & Electric it’s time to fortify the city’s electrical system.

Kentucky’s Attorney General Jack Conway wants to know if you have a complaint about price gouging.

 

Attorney General Jack Conway is putting Kentucky retailers on notice that price gouging will not be tolerated during times of emergency. Governor Beshear signed an executive order yesterday declaring a state of emergency in the wake of the winter storm that has left dozens of Kentucky communities blanketed in snow and ice and tens of thousands without power. Today, General Conway asked Gov. Beshear for an emergency order that will also implement Kentucky’s price gouging laws.

“I have made it clear that I will not tolerate unscrupulous retailers who seek excessive profits during emergency situations. Those who have fallen victim to this storm should not be victimized again by predatory pricing,” General Conway said.

General Conway’s recently concluded investigation into price gouging in the wake of Hurricane Ike resulted in fines totaling $107,500 against eight retail gas stations in seven Kentucky communities.
