Re: Go Figure... Well its kinda hard to compete on price when you are going against a tax-exempt government-run bureaucracy that has the benefits of subsidies from other municipally run services. Ever wonder why UPS can't ship you a letter for 37 cents? Maybe its due to the fact that they have to pay fuel taxes on their entire fleet, property taxes on all their buildings, registration costs for all their vehicles and just about every other regulatory fee under the sun. The US Post Office pays none of this (and still loses money).
I still would like to know why people haven't commented on the nice 50% rate hike that was passed on the municipal electric customers in this area. Why don't any of the "pro-competitive" people here suggest that there be some competition in electrical generation for this market, because clearly it is needed.
