Utility companies get a big bailout.
They're coming for our money again. Across the country, utility compaines are lining up, palms out, looking for a txpayer bailout. This is one of those boring issues most of us can't be bothered with understanding. In fact, the utility industry is probably counting on our inaction. But we'll be saddled with the consequences of our indifference for decades to come, as our tax dollars and utility bill payments go to support dependent corporations instead of the public good.
