L.A. utility rates may rise between 8%-28% to pay for mayor's green initiatives

Did the mayor mention anywhere here that he will probably skim off some if not all of this money for his pet projects? he already is doing this. this is why he thinks that they don't charge enough.

Some things to look at:

What do DWP customers pay per KWH compared to customers of nearby municipalities and investor owned utilities?

The monthly billing figures per household sound competitive to me. What exactly are they talking about? There is a wide fluctuation of the sizes of housing and personal life styles. I don't believe residents of Boyle Heights or Van Nuys use electricity like the inhabitants of Hollywood Hills or Brentwood Estates.

It needs to be spelled out what exactly is "Tier 1", "tier 2", the charge per kilowatt hour for each one, average KWH usage per neighborhood, and the prevailing "tier" for typical housing of each neighborhood.

Then there would be something with substance to discuss.

Soon only his people will be able to live in LA. He needs more funds to coddle his gangs with training them for employment (who says they want to work?) providing them with a rec center where they can play and plan their illegal activites, $200,000 to train low income (legal or illegal?) residents to be gardeners. Thank you Mr Mayor! All this while what working residents left are being taxed to death. Maybe that is how he is going to get rid of the legal citizens so this city can become what everyone said it will be.
I am sure they all thank you LA voters, for electing their Leader.
