The Great Lakeland Electric Rebate Ripoff: Commissioners are complicit (as is The Ledger by their silence) by the Lakeland Electric AGM’s boasting “upwards of $200,000” in rebates denied. Apparently, the mediocre city attorney thinks “rebate rules are subject to change without notice” is a license to swindle. Surprise! It’s not. A straightforward scam, too “complex” for The Ledger reporter to figure out!
