a living but you think utilities should not our spouse. well meantime more than $4000000.00 power outages have been reported as that storm picked his nurse to made it $18000000000.00 worth of damage across the region $15000000.00 people also reported disruption to their water supply on top of it to more than 70 have died across the u.s. from these unusually cold conditions the governor of texas has pledged to try to bring the spiraling energy bills back of the control we're moving quickly to alleviate this problem and we'll continue to work collaboratively throughout this week and solutions to help texas families and issues that do not get stuck with skyrocketing energy bills. the politicians are also stepping in to to help us they can case in point congresswoman sheila jackson lee the delivery paid and water to residents and who stood a killer scored a most again said ordinarily people shouldn't be picking up the tab for the
