on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge?
was the question asked by a Duke Energy worker, the question was aimed at Marty Boyer who bought Theater House in Covington, Kentucky, in
November, He was shocked at the amount in his electric bills. He was being
billed for seven electrical meters, but he could only find four in the
building, after he requested an audit, Duke Energy confirmed that three of the
meters were located across the street from the theater, but they weren't going
to separate them from his bill, frustrated by Duke's inaction, Boyer told Duke to turn off
the meters across the street on March 19 not knowing what they powered, the
lights stayed on at the Theatre House, but a Duke worker showed up the next day
asking who turned the lights off on the bridge, "(The) lesson here: Want to get attention, turn off the
lighting on the bridge," Boyer said, it turned out that Boyer had been paying to power the lights
on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge that spans the Ohio River! but Duke wouldn't
change the bill because they couldn't find anyone at the Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet to accept responsibility, it was only after Boyer told the story on Facebook and the local newspaper got involved that the
meters were separated for billing purposes, you can read an update on the story at The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge carry's U.S. Route 42 and U.S. Route 127 across the Ohio River, connecting Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky.
