So I open my most recent bill from So Cal Edison and find its 300 bucks! WTH! I notice they went back a few months and re-calculated the charges based on my baseline usage. I call Edison and ask for an explanation. Basically, whenever and however they decide, they can just change how things are billed. Of course they want to blame it on the Public Utilities Commission.

The decided that "my area", an upscale section of town, was being "given" too much baseline electrical allocation. They went on to indicate that nearly everyone in my "area" had the same adjustment.

I flat out asked if the change was because I live in an expensive area. The response floored me..."well, that's not the only consideration". WTH??

In the same bill I see a flier for a couple of entitlement programs which reduce what "poor" families have to pay.

Basically, the more people in a house and the less money, the less ya have to pay. I guarantee those homes of 3 families are using more electricity than me and paying less. Why?

I'm all for helping people, but IMHO, this is nothing but theft from people who someone has deemed can afford it. If I want to give, I do it thru donation.

Dunno, did not go over with me too well.
