Dear Tunica-Biloxi Citizens,
This summer has seen a massive increase in the average power bill for citizens across Louisiana. To alleviate a portion of the financial burdens some may have been suffering, Entergy Louisiana has committed almost $4.4 million to United Way to assist qualified customers with paying their energy bills.
I encourage all citizens who meet these qualifications to apply. Additional information may be found below. As always, I encourage those with questions or concerns to reach out to me or Chief of Staff Megan Guillot at mguillot@tunica.org or 381-427-7418.
Sincerely,
Chairman Marshall Pierite
