TV Reporter

If a TV reporter calls & wants to interview you about energy costs what would you say? Help me to give an accurate presentation. It is for real.

I've never known you to be at a loss for words. Try not to rampage too much about the goverment and overtaxation. Subtley plug your mat on their dime! Try to come up with some predetermined answers to likly questions that end with some positive thing you did for your customers. Tape it and post the gif. file so we can see it too.

Stay away from any reporter,they are making the story anyway they want,you have no control and I don't think will help your business.I don't let any neighbers know what I do for living,don't let most my emplyees know where I live,I just want to make my money stay out of spot light.
I know some large laundry operators,they have 6-20 over 4500 sqft stores,they have been making living in this business for 20-30 years,they don't give anyone from any meg interview.
One laundry owner spoke in the city's meeting about high water bill when the TV station was there,he had full building,fire,health dept inspection next day from the city!alomst closed his door for a few weeks.
My dad was police,TV,newspaper reporter wanted to interview him and ask any news all the time,he only did 2,3 interview in 25 years.

The interview turned out to be very good & worthwhile. I happened to get 2 extremely good camera persons & a terrific reporter & editors. They came twice yesterday. Once for over 30 minutes in the morning & a major setup starting at 4:30 for their 6 o'clock news. This was live footage during their 6 pm newcast. The 10 PM newscast had even more footage & interview content. They even included car washes & drycleaners as some of the businesses affected.
