DTE Gets $840,000 Slap On The Wrist for Improper Shut-Offs After $1 Million Federal Grant To Prevent Shut-Offs

"What about our children's trust funds?" said DTE after being fined.

But what about the DTE Political Action Committee and who is going to fund those political campaigns, now?

Does this mean DTE can no longer disenfranchise voters and manipulate elections?

What about DTE 2020 redistricting plans?

Shutting down DTE shut-off ops will our impact their asset forfeiture ops of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

Can DTE Foundation still keep all the LIHEAP money and pretend to pay the past due balance by putting "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) on a payment plan that they will never be able to pay off?

What about the DTE foreign child welfare NGO trafficking tiny humans money laundering operations?

How is DTE Foundation to survive on GROSS RECEIPTS $50,938,417  & ASSETS $152,291,838?

DTE, a Quasi-Government-Organization, is the first Public Private Partnership model for the U.S.

DTE in conjunction with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services coined the term "Every corporation should hire a child."

"Corporations are people, too." said DTE... or was that Mitt Romney?

DTE only got $1 million to prevent shut-offs.

"This is not fair." something DTE is probably saying.

DTE agrees to $840,000 fine for improper shut-offs

Detroit – A mess over billings and improper shutoffs has led to an $840,000 fine for DTE Energy.

State regulators approved the settlement earlier this month. Sally Talberg of the Michigan Public Service Commission says the commission has “great concern when utilities violated consumer protection rules.”

The investigation began a year ago, months after DTE began using a new billing system. The commission received complaints that power was being improperly shut off. More than 4,000 customers did not receive a proper shut-off notice for nonpayment.

DTE has agreed to refund all deposits and reconnection fees. The utility also will be audited over its shut-off procedures until 2020.

A group known as the Residential Customer Group watched the case and objected to the settlement. Michelle Rison says the fine isn’t high enough, especially when some shut-offs occurred during cold weather.

I wonder how many kids were snatched by CPS for not having any lights.
