(Updated) “We have bills here that are sky high,” Lauren Palulis said, as she confronted her temporary landlord with a copy of her apartment’s $702.38 electric bill for the month of January.
“Call the electric company and PURA” if you have complaints about the cost of electricity, replied her landlord for-now, Farnam Realty’s Carol Horsford. Make sure the city’s Building Department properly inspected the complex’s insulation. But don’t protest a group that has no power over the price of power.
That scene — and reckoning over rising utility costs — played out during a protest on the sidewalk in front of Farnam Realty’s downtown office at 107 Whitney Ave.
