Ron,I simply have the obvious facts to deal with. Please do not put into my writing your beliefs; if costs were justifiable, they would have been allowable. Instead, the utes chose to go through the back door and rack up bills and then use that as a reason to need higher rates. Nobody stopped the utes from upgrading, nobody forced them to buy expensive electricity; why did they not begin blackouts earlier? To set the stage with massive debt and force the hysteria...upgrade expenses could have been included in rate hikes as well. As I stated previously, if there is a legitimate bill to pay, it would be paid. The bill was illegitimate, and now the muscle of accrued debt (to whom was this money paid will be the next subject of scrutiny, if the watchdogs are not yet on the ute payroll) is being used to drag a red-herring across the stage. Whenever I see hysteria, hype and politics, I am reminded of how political scams are carried out: Hysteria is the key here, and as I view the Media attempting to create more hysteria I am more convinced of the illegitimacy of the situation.
