Do you pay attention to what your state legislature is
doing? Rarely does anyone pay attention
to what is going on in their state. Do
you know they pass rates to raise our heat bills in summer and raise rates for
our electric bills in winter? People
usually don't even notice it happening.
Where is the news media when this is going on? Oh, they tell you about it once or twice, but
that isn't nearly enough to reach everyone.
Then again who cares about the heat bill when it's 90 degrees out? Why do you think the utilities companies try
to pass rate hikes in the opposite season you're affected by them? It's because they don't want you to notice.
There was a bill Ameristar and other casinos were trying to
get passed in Missouri Missouri
Have a nice weekend, and I'll see you again soon.

I know that even if they do pass a bill, sometimes there are extra things attached to the bill. It can be so hard to know what is going on with politicians. They seem to have different interests than the rest of us! After all, who else can vote to give themselves a raise!
I agree with Melissa and what you said, Sandy.
We have to be vigilant, but that can be hard with "hidden" agendas attached to what we think are "simple" bills.
Boy, do you have that right, Melissa. The politicians think we don't know about the extra things. Ha!
Nothing is ever simple, Marianne. It's a shame.
