Houstonians sound off about CenterPoint Energy outages, rates and more
SUMMARY: Texas Public Utility Commissioners faced significant public criticism during a meeting in Houston regarding CenterPoint Energy’s storm response and allegations of overcharging customers by over $100 million annually. While many attendees expressed a willingness to pay more for better service, they questioned the utility’s accountability. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick confronted CenterPoint’s CEO, Jason Wells, about these overcharging claims during an interview, emphasizing the need for a thorough review of the rate increase case. He urged the Public Utilities Commission to consider lowering rates to provide some relief to consumers as the review process continues.
In a rare move, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) is meeting in Houston because leaders want to hear directly from Houston residents. Many were without power for more than ten days after Hurricane Beryl. This is the opportunity for the community to weigh in on how CenterPoint Energy handled the crisis.

Election 2024: Eric Holder vs three Texas Supreme Court justices | Texas
SUMMARY: Eric Holder, the first U.S. attorney general held in contempt by Congress, is targeting Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court, alleging they are biased. Holder, supported by prominent Democrats, established the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) in 2017 to shift redistricting power away from Republicans. He’s endorsing challengers to three incumbent justices in the upcoming election. Holder claims the Texas Supreme Court’s conservative majority has harmed the public, while his critics argue he seeks partisan judges. Justice Jimmy Blacklock contends that judges should follow the law impartially, not serve political agendas, rejecting Holder’s claims of bias within the judicial system.
