10-19-22 $1.80 (gas cost)
1-24-23 $8.80
$7.00 or 389% increase in 3 months (and they're asking for another rate increase)
There is no justification based on the cost of Nat. Gas on the open market.
This is agenda driven politics and collusion between gov't and the utility.
This GD government doesn't care one whit for its citizens. Not one little teensy bit. It is fighting against us.
I'm reminded more and more every day of the brilliant, timeless words of Thomas Jefferson...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-
Why would a utility collude with a government that wants to put them out of business?
