If KGE succeeds in raising its rates, it better make a big improvement in its attitude toward customer service. KGE brags about fewer disruptions in electric service because of its tree trimming.

Let's have slot machines to help the Kansas taxpayer. Slot machines at racetracks wouldn't be so bad if it was guaranteed that the proceeds would go to schools. Forget about all the Olympic athletes and their medals.
