Byron Dorgan: “I received a letter from a man named John. I have not contacted him…”

On the recordFebruary 15, 2001

I received a letter from a man named John. I have not contacted him, so I will not use his last name. John, from Fargo, ND, wrote the following: Dear Senator Dorgan, I am in complete shock after receiving my natural gas bill yesterday. I live in a modern house that is well insulated, I am careful about closing doors and ensuring that all the windows are sealed, I set my thermostat at 68 degrees (now even lower), and yet I receive a bill for natural gas alone, for over $726 for a one month period. How is that possible?…
