Sweating that next electric bill? NC Senate Democrats say these bills could help.

With over 353,000 North Carolina households at risk of electricity disconnection in May due to soaring energy costs, it's clear many families are struggling to keep up. Sen. DeAndrea Salvador highlighted the urgency, noting people are forced to choose between essentials like groceries and rent. The NC Senate Democrats are proposing bills aimed at easing the financial burden, which could provide crucial relief and help prevent energy providers from cutting off power to vulnerable residents. This move underscores the broader issue of affordability and the need for sustainable solutions to protect families from financial crises.
