places like montana are being monopolized by companies such as northwestern electric and overcharged for fees as we have no choice but to pay to have their serivce and the cost of their electric. so our bills run extremely high for no reason. if i wasnt paying their serivce fee of same amount of ussge of electric my bill wouldnt run between 300 and 500 monthly. electric comapnies should be federally investagted and mandated on what fees that they can charge to residents vs industrial businesses.
