....you are fined $200 if you use ANY kilowatt minutes over the previous month ...

Ye Gods! That's one I haven't heard yet. Do they really do this in CA?

Yes, we have one son who is a retired SGT/Maj living in north San Diego County, another son who is a district Fire Chief in La Mesa and a daughter living in Wildomar. When our daughter and her husband transferred from Las Vegas to Wildomar area (his job) they moved into a home that had been empty for 2 months. They got an electric bill for $200.00 above the already high bill - when she called, she was given the info mentioned above. She told them they had only been in the house for 10 days - they told her that they had exceeded the previous months usage - she said, YES, but the house had been empty before. They will now have to take the time to go fight the bill. As I said, CA is no longer the "Golden State" - it is a 3rd world country and, until someone stops the 2500+ illegals that pour across the border each and every night....it is only going to get worse. Our grandchildren are now in private schools because the public school system is a joke.
