Statement from AARP Oklahoma State Director Sean Voskuhl in response to Attorney General Drummond’s investigation into artificially inflated natural gas prices during Winter Storm Uri.
“This is welcome news from Attorney General Drummond for Oklahomans struggling with higher utility costs.
The companies who reaped billions of dollars on the backs of hard-working Oklahomans during Winter Storm Uri must be held accountable. Frustrated utility customers have been demanding to know why they are paying for a “once-in-a-generation” storm for decades.
Oklahomans are relieved action is being taken against the companies who bilked customers out of billions of dollars in a matter of days. They further demand the recovered funds are returned to the utility customers immediately.”
