It's hard when the government won't work with you to help solve your current problems. Instead, they choose to "fine" you. This seems to be the government's solution to everything - get as much money as they can from you.
Ok, let me get off my soapbox and focus on the issue...
Gary Bourgeault reports that the N.C. Utilities Commission is threatening to fine Piedmont Natural Gas Co. if the company does not improve its customer service next winter. Gary doesn't agree with this and neither do I, for the simple fact that threats do not motivate people to act. Threats only make the situation worse due to resentment of the threatened party.
Why not meet and talk about a mutual resolution to the problem instead of making threats? Doesn't that make more sense?
If your employer threatened to fine you $100 for every week that you provided bad service, how would that make you feel?
