Less choice, higher cost makes the Visigoths antsy. Wear rags doomers in empathy and hide behind ya gates!

That’s the case here. The water district here is in deep with unfunded pension liabilities and they take it out on the rate payers.

And this will happen for energy, too. The peasants will do their part and cut back only to see the cost of their utility bills and the price at the pump sky rocket due to AB32 and the rest of this global warming nonsense.

But will the sheeple ever wake up and vote out the tyrants? Heck no.

I recall reading letters and comments in the Santa Rosa Press- Democrat about this.

Sonoma and Mendocino counties have been fighting drought for at least a couple years already and thus have been conserving the best they can the whole time. The cries of outrage over their rising water bills was no surprise, but neither was the reason for it. It takes a certain amount of money to support the system. If they don’t make enough, they have to raise rates.

Here in Humboldt I’m not sure it would work that way, at least those of us drawing from the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District. We could probably stop using any water- assuming that’s possible- and our bills might remain the same because of the way they’re structuring rates here.
