OF A PENCIL -- PISTOL.
A NEW LAWSUIT FILED ALONG
WITH TWO OTHER FILED OVER THE
FAILED PLANT.
WHERE JOIN NOW WITH MORE
INFORMATION.
TRUCK --
Reporter: THE LAWSUIT IS
FILED AGAINST THE SCANA
CORPORATION ON BEHALF OF 10
PEOPLE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
THAT'S WHERE TWO OF THE RECTORS
WERE BEING BUILT.
THE LAWSUIT IS PENDING CLASS
ACTION STATUS.
IF THAT HAPPENS, THAT WOULD
LOOP IN ALL CUSTOMERS THAT WERE
AFFECTED BY RATE HIKES.
I SPOKE WITH EDWARD BELL WHO
FILED THIS LAWSUIT MONDAY.
IT EXPLAINS CUSTOMER --
CUSTOMERS PAID FOR THE FAILED
EXPANSION THROUGH RAISED RATES.
BELL SAYS REPORTS SHOW SCANA
MAY HAVE BEEN MISMANAGING THE
MONEY BROUGHT IN FROM ITS POWER
COMPANIES.
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN WHY THE
PLANT FAILED.
IT APPEARS TO BE A SITUATION
WHERE THE PROBLEMS WERE KNOWN
FOR A LONG TIME AND THEY FAILED
TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT.
Reporter: IN PART, THE
PLAINTIFFS ARE SUING TO GET
THAT MONEY BACK THAT THEY PAID
INTO THE FAILED PLANT.
THEY ALSO WANT THE FUNDS
RECEIVED FROM THE SALE OF THE
PLANT.
