LETTER: High utility costs a hardship on seniors
How is it possible that my gas bill increased more than 50 percent this December and this was approved by the government agency responsible for oversight. Now I read that my electric bill is going up again.
Although I am soon to be be 99 years old and am on a pension and Social Security, I’m expected to absorb these costs. How can families with low incomes and seniors on Social Security be expected to pay these increases? I have to wonder whose interest is being protected. Is utility profit more important than customer welfare?
