Hydro is a problem I agree....but a bigger problem is the runaway expenses of the cops and fireman, who all make over 100K when you figure in all the benefits, sick day pays, overtime ect....oh and the cash deals the fireboys and girls do all the time as they sleep a big part of their 24 hr shifts.   Look at how your municipal taxes go up and up every year....and there is NOTHING you can do about it.....at least with hydo you can conserve....with these untouchables, completely out of touch professions, they are bleeding you dry,,,,,,and the sad fact is how very few people realize this.   Oh to finalize...they all retire early with their gold plated pension and benefit plans.
