“Present. All right. Good morning, everybody. Let's see. So I'm looking at our agenda for next week. It's very heavy utility, which makes sense because it's our third meeting of the month. Let's start with Ed and Vaughn. So let's start with Ed. Ed, do you have anything that you want to prep us for regarding Tuesday's meeting?”

“Right. And I do see that that has increased and we've increased it a couple of times and it is, it is affecting the, the bills. I will say no matter where you live, whether you're near the water or not, I, our bills have increased dramatically and I, anything we can do at this point is, to help the customer not have to help us not have to increase the PCA so that it doesn't go on to the customers would be really beneficial. Cause I think we may be maxing out the amount that people are willing to pay. I mean, we're, we're there.”

So I don't know how all of that would... find its way into that conversation.”

“Right. Exactly. We don't need to be sitting there saying, well, what if you did this? Because we're not the experts.”
