    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;text blurb&quot;&gt;TURN has convinced the CPUC to revise the rules for public speakers, giving consumers more opportunities to speak out directly on the issues that concern them.

    <title>TURN tips: how to stand up to your utility company&amp;#8212;and WIN!</title>
    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;text blurb&quot;&gt;It is very important to have a strategy in mind before calling your utility. Have a pen and paper ready to take notes during your call. Write down the date and time of your call, and get the name of the representative and their direct extension if they have one. Ask to speak to a supervisor or manager right away.&lt;/div&gt;
