The Kentucky division of Duke Energy - the powerful monopoly that controls utility service in greater Cincinnati and charges some of the most exorbitant electric rates in the nation - has been fined $120,000 by Kentucky's Public Service Commission. The commission found that Duke committed billing violations affecting almost 8,000 customers and that the violations were "willful", as they continued even after Duke was warned to stop.
"Willful" means deliberate and intentional. It was not an accident. It was not an oversight. They did it on purpose.
Anyone who still had a benign view of our major corporations and institutions can wipe the poo off their face now.
