DWP plans 37% rate hike over four years to cover cost increases
The L.A. utility's managers unveiled the plan as the council's Energy and Environment Committee debated the mayor's proposal to boost rates to pay for renewable energy.
Actually the city has NO plans for renewable energy.
The City of Los Angeles is facing bankruptcy for it's inefficient and corrupt way of doing business. But since the government can do no wrong, there is nothing to fix. So rather than reform the government to do a better job, the government is looking for ways to raise taxes. What better excuse is there to raise taxes then the fraud of "Global Warming". "Global Warming" is the perfect political scam. It is very easy to pretend to care that the global temperature is rising 1 degree over the next 100 years. No matter how outrageous the bribes and political payouts to benefactors the corrupt politicians make, they can always claim it is for the good of the planet. How can you argue with that? How can you disprove that?
Thursday's meeting took place an hour after former Vice President Al Gore appeared with Villaraigosa via satellite in support of the mayor's plan, which would help the mayor meet his goal of ensuring that the DWP secures at least 20% of its energy from renewable sources by Dec. 31.

Al Gore speaking from his private mansion (which causes more "Global Warming" in a day than most homes do in a year) (evidently his personal jet was in the shop because it wasn't emitting enough pollutants), to tell the rest of us that we must reduce our carbon footprint so that he doesn't have to reduce his. And of course to tell us that government never wastes money, so that the daily tax increases which are destroying our economy are necessary to help the less fortunate than ourselves.
Villaraigosa has warned that the DWP would renege on a promise to have the utility send $73 million to the city's troubled general fund, which pays for basic services, if the first increase is not approved by March 31. That money is enough to pay for 1,000 jobs in a year when the city is pondering layoffs.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is having trouble keeping his story straight. As a self serving political parasite feeding on the life of the
His message, like all other politicians, is give me all you have, and I will spend it for you the way I think it should be spent.
Now, how'd this happen after Mayor Reardon left Los Angeles in the black, and the DWP in a profitable condition without needing to raise either taxes or energy rates?? Could it be the leftist liberal wackos the dole-loving voters have since chosen to elect??
