  14. West Oregon electric. They’ve got the highest rates in Oregon, they are a co OP so normal laws don’t apply and they know it. The manager actually screamed in my face stating he doesn’t care if my kids freeze to death or not maybe I should be a better parent!! All while refusing to wait 4 days for 170 dollars now that it was turned off we’re facing 1000 dollars against a 170 bill to turn it on because of deposits!
