December bill = $177

January bill = $625

I called about my January bill.

Entergy: It's probably due to Christmas lights.

Me: I had no Christmas lights this year.

Entergy: It's probably b/c you had the thermostat set too high.

Me: I have an automatic thermostat that stays on 70 year-round.

Entergy: Take a picture of your meter and send it to us.

Me. I sent them a picture of my meter.

Entergy: We have recieved your meter readings and the amount on your bill is correct.

In the last 24 hours, 100 people have complained on Facebook (Richard's List) about extreme increases in their January Entergy bill. There is no other public utility offering energy in this area. Residents are at the mercy of these thieves. Something needs to be done.
