The muni providers have a bunch of cost advantages that help them keep the price lower.
Yes, but:A) NYSEG customers are still paying off boondoggles due to incompetent current and former management that have nothing to do with their for-profit status
B) So what? The customers get better service at lower price.FWIW, I can report that as municipal water and sewer commissioner, although technically we could foreclose, we never have. The threat of disconnection is quite adequate to get people to pay.
