Who woulda thunk something like this would happen?

Here is the TRUE meaning of what Pols are all about.

Buy the overpriced, idiotic (as it is now) electric car, you can charge it at work, municipal parking etc.
Suck ‘em in, PULL THE PLUG....ha ha ha

Not all that many years back East Coast was in the throes of a drought.
Water conservation was the key...DON’T wash cars, DO your laundry at night etc etc etc..
After 6 or so months of compliance, the WATER RATES WENT UP because WE were not using (Paying for) enough of it.

Throw a mileage tax on 50+ MPG vehicles cause they aren’t spending enough at the pump.

In the issue of Armed Guards at Public Schools, saw a letter to the editor....If we can afford to have police sit in speed traps and DUI checkpoints, we can put someone in a Public School, at least rotate them....hmmm(I ‘kinda’ added
Especially since the traps and checkpoints are NOT for revenue).

One of MY “All time favorites”, during a long cold spell in Northeast US, they were pushing for average elec rates, the utilities complied, and for more than a few winters, the utilities ‘took it in the shorts during cold weather’.
Weather broke, had a year of very mild winter (avg billing still in place) and the following year was also mild so the customers SUED over the ‘avg billing’ AND WON. Not sure, but something tells me the Cos may have had to either pay back or credit those that had benefited by the COLD winters.

Not that I disagree with any of the above BUT it sure is nice to point out that once you ‘follow their advice’ they come back to stick it to you.
