Voices of The Village Podcast featuring Shelia Edwards for Georgia Public Service Commission: Putting Power Back in the Hands of the People

Sheila Edwards, a candidate for Georgia's Public Service Commission, discussed the commission's failure to regulate Georgia Power effectively, leading to frequent rate increases. Edwards highlighted the monopolistic nature of Georgia Power, which manipulates rates and profits significantly, impacting vulnerable communities. She emphasized the need for affordable utilities and proposed collaborating with Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard to address rate increases and support marginalized communities. Edwards advocated for expanding solar energy programs and criticized the commission's decisions, such as taking land from a black family in Sparta for a private railroad. She urged voters to participate in the upcoming elections.
