state of Md. doesn't just screw horse racing

[ddthetide]

3 other states have joined the moratorium on cut-off for non-payments of electric and gas. new york, massachusetts and california.
for those living in these states, IF this is allowed to go on for much longer, you WILL pay higher electric and gas rates.

in Maryland's case one group has asked for the moratorium to last 12-24 months! that will bankrupt utilities, worsen the problem. those of us that do pay our bills will be paying MUCH higher rates to make up for those that don't.
i don't think, this will last much more that an month BUT the public service commissions will make us jump through hoops to turn people off to collect money.
the utilities have already pulled the attorneys together to sue the state. in our case, the city attorney has filed an injunction for us to be exempt from the moratorium.

it's not been well publicized so those of you in mass., ny and cali. may want to start doing some research and notify your state reps and log and opinion.
