Jason, actually you've pretty much hit the nail on the head.<br> <br> Every community leader I have spoken with has leveled criticism at D.P. & L. on the issue of "communications". But not one community leader has suggested the utility was "dragging it's feet" in the power restoration process.<br> <br> I, too, have some criticism for D.P. & L. from a media perspective. Here's what it boils down to: <br> <br> The interview Jason Michaels did with the VP from the storm room was very informative. D.P. & L. had given that same interview to TV folks earlier in the week. <br> <br> What's the problem with that? Few had operating televisions when they were doing those interviews. One critique I would offer D.P. & L. is: had they called a press conference Monday or Tuesday after the storm and did that demo for everyone, it might have sunk in with the public better. By Thursday or Friday, a lot of the public, due to their understandable frustration, were basically, "running in circles, screaming and shouting." <br> <br> I agree - communications is an area that D.P. & L. needs to address. We will be speaking with them about that in the post-mortem.
