If rates must increase to cover the systems then so be it. Our Politicians need to stop the incessant politicking and fix this issue. The maintenance of such systems to insure they work when needed must be addressed from the git-go rather than myriad failures when the lights go out.

People desperately called 911 as people were dying from the heat in a nursing home, and there was a hospital across the street. Every criminal sitting in a jail has jail standards which make them nice and comfortable when the power goes out. Grandma can die, but a murderer can sit nice and cool as the jails and prisons do not lose power. No wonder people have no faith in government. Point fingers and do nothing for a year. Splendid.
