I also saw this article, i didn't realise you'd posted on it as well.
It is a scandal and here's why:
The DWP (the utility company) is a state-owned utility that helps to fund the bankrupt city of LA by more than 220 million dollars every single year - so why do they need to raise prices?
Well, as the article makes clear, there is a massive shortfall caused by the fact that the solar panels and wind turbines they installed were more expensive and less reliable than expected. The extra charges will cover this without affecting profit. But wasn't anyone fired for this fiasco?
No, because the Mayor himself appoints the board members of the DWP, and as the article notes, he has appeared alongside "environmental and union leaders" to applaud this hike in prices. But ideology aside, what is there to gain by his support for vastly increased costs for a basic human need?
Well, again, as the article notes, the extra charges are expected to contribute more than 800 million dollars to the DWP every single year, which in turn will fund more "green jobs" on the state (union leaders support that) and hundreds of millions of dollars more for the city which is essentially insolvent.
So - green is the colour that really matters here, and your tax dollars are hard at work. As are you to help fund this madness.

There's so much I could share! People who appreciate it get handmade gifts; relatives who don't, get money. The gift must be useful, unless it's for my brother (some traditions cannot be ignored), and sourced locally. I prefer to give consumables (e.g. hand-milled soap or fair trade treats) because we all have too many things we don't need cluttering our lives. I encourage the recipient to "regift" if what I've sent is not to taste, no hard feelings. I call this the "gift of emergency gift preparedness" - e.g. that last-minute invitation to a neighbour's New Year's Eve party. Unless I'm giving tree ornaments, I avoid seasonal gifts. Shoe boxes and cookie tins get recovered with fabric or paper to hide corporate logos, and are tied shut. My recipients like my shoeboxes because they can be used to store fragile tree ornaments until the next year.
