Veto legislation putting Street Lighting costs to WAPA consumers


Veto legislation putting Street Lighting costs to WAPA consumers
The Issue
The Senate has passed legislation to transfer past and future street lighting costs, previously a government budget responsibility, to the electric consumers, as an add on to their Water And Power Authority bills. This legislation is a blatent disregard for government responsibilty to provide public safety in a fair and equitable manner. Furthermore the retroactive provision is a double dip cost, since we tax payers, already paid to fund street lights, and the government deliberately chose not to pay the cost. We are being devoured by the vultures elected to protect our interests.
