Should it be illegal for utility companies to have stockholders?

Oregon's main gas and electric, while being " regulated by the government" have assets and equity in the billions... yet they lay off working people so " save money"...

Meanwhile our rates keep going up and up... they're willing to give a small % break, short term, to senior citizens...but certainly they can bear more.

Regulated, to me, just means those running the show have their portfolios deep in that market.

Mine is a so called coop,

But we still have no real say so in its operation, and the prices keep climbing.
