Editorial: SoCalGas Dr. Gene Dorio

Mother Nature will determine the impact natural gas bills have on our citizens, and getting to spring means we still have to get through February and most of March with potentially high bills.

The media is reporting some relief, but for many SCV residents, fear still lingers their gas will be turned off, or they will be taken to collections. 

SoCalGas has reassured residents they will not disconnect overdue customers during the first half of the year. Plus, they will delay collections on overdue accounts until April 1, 2023.

If you haven’t already heard, the California Public Utilities Commission approved a one-time credit of $50.77 in February or March, depending on your billing cycle.

Still, questions linger if we will be again subject to a similar rate increase in the future and if our usual base natural gas rate will have inflated like the price of many other products.

Go to www.socalgas.com for more information on how you can make your home heat efficient, and other programs to help those in financial need through the winter months.

Finally, make sure you help those family and friends with the technology, especially older adults, through these tough times.

About Carl Goldman

Carl Goldman, along with his wife, Jeri repurchased KHTS AM-1220, Santa Clarita’s hometown station on October 24, 2003. They owned it from 1990-1998, and then sold it to Clear Channel Communication in 1998, buying it back from Clear Channel in 2003. Since then, they have rebuilt KHTS as a critical voice of the Valley. In 2015 the radio station moved to its new headquarters on Main Street in Old Town Newhall, in the original Newhall Hardware building. In 2018 an FM was added, 98.1, with its signal being simulcast with AM-1220. In January 2020, Carl and Jeri cruised on the Diamond Princess. Carl was one of the first Americans to come down with Covid-19. Months earlier he was impacted by Guillain Barre Syndrome as a result of a Shingles vaccine in September 2019. He is still in recovery from the vaccine.
