about a yr ago the same situation was happening except it was the
BG&E. the solicitor wanted to see people's g&e bills,
offering cheaper services elsewhere. Northern district came out.
Surprisingly it was legit. A couple times it would be a black guy
talking and a white gal on the sidewalk. I don't know what company
initiated all this. due to various security issues it certainly
wasn't good judgment on someone's part. That in turn tells me the
company is not one to deal with. No one should be going door to
door . For the safety of both parties.<br>

The Charles Villager is only published 5 times a year, however
there are email distribution lists<br>
that can be utilized to get the message out in a more timely
manner. <br>
