Issa Working To Resolve Marine Electric Bills at Pendleton

Statement

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) released the following statement in response to news reports surfacing that some Marine families at Camp Pendleton are being asked to pay astronomical power bills -- in some cases more than $500 -- or be evicted from their homes.

"I take the concerns of our Marines and their families seriously. That's why my office has responded to recent news reports and calls from constituents to our office on the electric bills at Pendleton by beginning a dialogue with the appropriate powers to ensure these disputes are resolved swiftly and that servicemembers are not paying more than they ought to. So far, everyone has been responsive to our requests and we look forward to working with them to get the facts and resolve any remaining differences. If anyone in the community has been served with similar bills, I encourage them to contact my office at 760-599-5000 to see how we can help."
