Maybe if CPS would cut the electricity rate then more seniors would be able to afford AC. It's not like CPS is short on funds.

It would be nice if CPS would tell us how many people actually send in donations or check that box on their energy bill asking if you would like to send in a few extra dollars to help these individuals with their energy bills via their REAP program and how they decide who gets the funds. Much like politicians, how can we trust that any money they receive for REAP actually goes to people in need and not into their bonus or dinner programs?

I never understood why every year the same story, eldery with no fans and no A/C. Where are the children of these poor people?? Why can't they help out! If my parents didn't have A/C, I would make sure they had it. A perfect Mother's day/Father's day gift from all the children, a new A/C unit.

Lets put this in prespective, seniors are cant afford AC, CPS fat-cats get huge raises, Doyle Beneby hires a waitress friend of his to the tune of 65k a year, Mayor Castro, city manager Scully are on the CPS board and approve these practices, its business as usual.

I pray somone is reading this to help out these seniors. We are all gonna be there some day, God willing.

My comment was going to be as all others on the CPS bonus issues..I see we all feel the same..It's one thing to get a bonus.. It's another get get a bonus that is 5 times the normal yearly salary of an average person!!!! at 20.00 per fan you can buy 6,500 fans for 130,000

Sunset, think before you post. The CPS raises should have never been given in the first place.

thank rick perry. he's the governor of the whole texas enchilada. but he needs that money for other things. more important things.

Sounds like 'sunset' works for CPS.

as if you people wouldnt accept a bonus was given to you by you place of employment. get services from another company so they can cut you off for non payment on day with out an ext. I agree the fat cats on the top get a huge bonus and it shouldnt be that high...but if it was you i am sure you wouldnt say....oh no please give it to the people within the city.
