After two days of hearing about the increasing encroachment by the utility industry on his stock and trade, Georgia contractor Danny Richardson had enough. As a special forum on unfair utility competition drew to a close last August, Richardson stood up and challenged the other 70 PHCC members in attendance to put their money where their hearts were.
A pledge sheet was passed around and, as a result, about $5,000 was promised by those in the room to be earmarked for the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors-National Association’s fight against unfair utility practices.
