It comes none too soon for Juneau legislators, who have asked the governor to reconsider the disaster cabinet’s findings.

    I live in Kodiak and have been paying a cost of power adjustment payment, called COPA since the local co-op has been using the generators instead of the hydro plant. Our bill is normally $110.00 - $130.00 per month with the COPA payment at around $55.00-$65.00 a month totaling around $190.00 per month. Suck it up Juneau, we’re all hurting.
