the socialists would like you to believe this ... residents no longer pay for the first 200 kWh of electricity used each month ... but we all know that's not so. we are paying that somewhere.
perspective is a funny thing... if that 6.3% was a pay offer to one of our greddy unions, they woild say not enough but when a business does the same thing so they can survive, the talk is its too much...
it's really the height of hypocrisy for government who have BPL in a mess for this same kind of decision-making, to now expect URCA to force GB Power do the same thing. aren't businesses allowed to make a profit and plan for plant and equipment replacement?
price control is a tired socialist practice that has long gone. let the businesses compete on price and government should watch and make sure they aren't colliding together to fix high prices.. you achieve that with severe financial penalties for anyone caught doing that which fir these guys epikd start at $100,000 first offense. that will keep things in check
what happened to that age old tradition where if you don't like how things are you pack up and leave? it never ceases to amaze me how people get hired and all of a sudden they think they have the right to tell you what to do... did they change the definition of employer and employee?

State control of everything is a blueprint for failure. the free market with government supervision to prevent collusion is the key.
