***New Jersey raised more than $15 million from power companies and other bidders this week..blah blah blah.***

The power companies paid nothing. These millions will be paid by elderly people on social Security and others who use the electricity.

Exactly!

The power companies can't print or create money.
Only the unsubsidized ratepayers do.

Politicians and/or bureaucrats who impose this thinly disguised extortion must be subject to the RICO laws.

Has it ever been challenged in court?
