MLGW Shirt Redux

Memphis consumers now have choices when selecting a T-shirt satirizing Memphis Light, Gas & Water’s high energy bills. BluffCity Tee introduced the shirt above recently with this on-the-nose description of the situation: “In the [M-bridge emoji], everyone knows the name of our ‘friendly’ neighborhood stick-up artist and community thief. It’s none other than MLGW. They’ve been robbing the Bluff City residents since 1939 and this year, they’ve lost their minds.”

“Here’s a @CityOfMemphis @mlgw contractor pissing in my front yard,” @midtownbuck tweeted last week. “Do I get some sort of discount since he’s not using my sewer line?”

MLGW responded, “Good morning, I apologize for this. Do you happen to have a photo of the truck you can send me please?”
