I'm curious to know if LIPA's management, higher ups and board members have there power? Did they lose it? How long were they out? I don't think I would ever find out the answer I was just wondering. BTW I don't know all the facts but I saw that the board members passed on Friday plans for the new power plant, I guess they wanted to do it before they all lose there jobs

If they didn't have power at home, I am sure that they had generators.

I have an idea: do not allow any high level LIPA executives to use power until everyone's power is fixed (except for properties that are uninhabitable or inaccessible). That would force them to restore everyone's power as quickly as possible.

This assumes that management is intentionally taking their time restoring power. Which is ridiculous.

Cuomo fired his director of Emergency Management because he had the crews cut a tree from his driveway.

No, they are unintentionally taking their time, because they don't have a clue how their system runs, and they could care less about it and the rate payers.

That I'd agree with.

No, just makes them work a little smarter than was apparent.
