Rather see them cut property taxes. this makes no sense. typical government
While I’m always happy to see lower taxes, this simply encourages more bad behavior on the part of utility companies because they can keep raising prices while the total bill may come down slightly. It’s as if we elect people to represent us and basic economics just goes right out the window.
The legislature dug this hole but approving every electric utility proposed legislation over the past 20 years or more. Consumer advocates opposed those but the R super-majority refused to listen. Now, they’re trying to fix it?!
A policy of low taxes is not a realistic position. What is the goal of low taxes? Poor services? Check! Bad roads? Check! Substandard education? Check!
I heard that the anti-government movement (the policy to this achieve this end is low taxes) got started after the passage of the civil rights laws in the 64-65. The racists in the government were fine with New Deal social programs as long as they could still keep “those people” out of the loop and up until then supported the government. Once civil rights laws made it nearly impossible to exclude “those people”, the idea that government was the problem was the new pitch. That doesn’t sound nearly as racist, but the result is the people on the bottom are still hurt by lack of a functioning social safety net, and rest of the shrinking middle class suffers because you get what you pay for.
