In the post, Slife encourages residents to file complaints with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).

Back in January, Slife said he and Councilmember Brian Kazy submitted a letter to the PUCO about the 10 reported power outages in West Park over a 60-day period. As of Friday, he said there has been no formal response.

According to Slife, this area has had three outages in five days.

Slife said he has elevated the issue to State Representative Bride Rose Sweeney.
