The petition has been started in efforts to get Tampa Electric Company (aka) TECO to lower the monthly rates for it's customers. I'm a community activist here in Tampa and I have received thousands of calls already this year regarding the rate increase. The citizens are barely keeping up with a mortgage payment let alone an electric bill. TECO has been the monopoly provider for decades and it's time to shape up or ship out and we get another source of energy!
The massive surge of support proves that Tampa is done letting TECO bleed us dry while they sit on their monopoly. We are building the kind of pressure that those suits in the boardroom cannot ignore for much longer.

Our bills have been steadily going up. From about 5-6 years ago, our bills have almost doubled. I know this because we moved into our new home then and got an energy audit.

Utilities should be owned by the public not by Emera holdings a foreign entity. A TECO overthrow is needed. Gouging people after a hurricane is evil.

The bills already high. It's not ok to keep raising bills when people are already struggling.

My bill went up 40 bucks this month for no reason. I keep my ac on 78 but it doesnt matter. TECO is robbing us blind.

WE NEED COMPETITION. Tired of having no other choice but TECO. Being forced to pay these crazy amounts is just wrong.

Ridiculous costs. I cant afford this anymore and they just keep hiking the prices while we suffer.
