Default Duke Energy Bill

Lake County Residents who utilize Duke Energy for their electric. My bill last month included taxes of $5.33, this months bill the taxes are $32.94. Two new line items have been added to the bill.

Municipal Franchise Fee $10.61
Municipal Utility Tax $16.36

When I called Duke to get an explanation they were basically clueless, just stated that the new fees were added based on Florida Statute Chapter 166. I looked this up and you can imagine the nonsense stated in this statute. Anyone have similar items added to their Duke bill and can shed some light before I call Lake County and just get frustrated. These new line items will be on all future monthly bills. Appreciate any information anyone can provide.
