Irate

I just received a bill from the LA Department Of Water And Power.  It was significantly higher than usual.  Had I been using more energy lately?

Then I saw the page attached to the bill--every bill has the latest info on the goings on at the DWP.   Here's what it said:

After nearly two years of public education and building stakeholder support [the LADWP will begin implementing rate hikes, with another coming soon.]

The City Council's approval of the two-year electric rate increase [....] was supported by a broad cross-section of both the business and environmental communities...

They're proud that they're punishing us.  This is part of the green agenda, which the state has mandated.  They may not be able to make alternative sources viable, but at least they can make conventional energy unpleasant.

So there's broad support?  I don't recall being asked about it.  If there's really support, how about a direct vote on the rate increase?  Of course, in this state, they might just approve it.
