CHICAGO UTILITY BREATHES EASIER WITH RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

摘要

Pamela B. Strobel is driven by a nightmare. It's Aug. 12, 1999. The Chicago summer's blistering heat has caused a two-week series of equipment failures resulting in electrical outages. On this day, 3,800 businesses in the Loop, including the Chicago Board of Trade, were darkened. In response, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (D) is angrily condemning her company, electric utility Commonwealth Edison Co., telling a press conference, "We are sick and tired of them, and they had better change."
