Having trouble paying your EPB electric bill?
Well, EPB employees aren’t. And that’s a big reason why your electricity costs are so high.
Chattanooga’s government-owned electric company showers its employees with salaries that many hard-working Chattanoogans could only dream of.
According to public records compiled on this paper’s “Right2Know” website, EPB paid 52 of its 552 employees more than $100,000 a year in 2011.
By comparison, the City of Chattanooga, which has nearly four times more employees, has only 19 employees who earn more than $100,000 annually.
