Well once again we beat the rest of the country. As of July 1st, our electric rates increased by almost 60% and then they added a 2.7% surcharge to that. Also increasing by the same percent was our water and sewer charges, with the water having a $3 surcharge and the sewer having a $5 surcharge. They put a sheet in my last bill with these increases laid out for the next 4 years on July 1st. A lot of people around here have been kicked out of their homes already because they couldn't pay the utility bill and now they come up with this. And none of the money is used for anything but to increase the local politicians pay and perks.
