DUH
Why doesnt it just depend on the amount thats owed on the electric bill ???
Why arent they required to provide last months electric bill and then the authorities pay that for them...
and NO MONEY is given to them ...
Thats the way United Way does it and it works for them...
My electric bill has NEVER been $300+...
Anyone in Georgia pay $300+ ???
Mine was but that was in the middle of summer with temps around 110 and no rain in sight. Funny how everyone and their dog gets freebies for heat (or if in cash, more dvd movies) but no help with A/C. It's just as well they don't or that'd be something else to raise my blood pressure.
Over $300/month? WTH?
At worst I hit that in the coldest months in GA when heating a 2500 sq ft home with lousy insulation.
Absolute worst heating bill I ever had was in NY when a thermostat stuck on and ran the electric heater full bore for a month while I was gone - and that was just $400!
I grew up in NY with wood heat. My bedroom got COLD; throw on another blanket or sweater already.
