Before issuing a subpoena for investigation, Presley said Commissioner Presley unofficially requested documentation from AT&T regarding the actual number of locations benefiting from the $ 280 million project, and AT&T declined. Several items on today’s agenda were part of requests for data from utility personnel that were ignored by AT&T.

“AT&T has embezzled $ 283,780,632 in government money with the promise of expanding internet services, but they refuse to answer the most basic questions from the regulator regarding the use of these dollars and the actual success of their plans,” Presley said. “It is very important. It’s clear to me that AT&T’s position is to take as much government money as possible and answer as few questions from regulators as possible. ”

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor.
