As I heard the energy rates of hydro are being raised again, may I voice my opinion as to why this should not be allowed. The rates are all ready excedingly high for anyone on a fixed income. Most all my friends and family do our best to conserve energy, and feel Ontario Hydro Board should do the same. What with the high wages and perks at the head of the board, I think the buck should start there. We are already paying for there fat pocket books, with the debt reduction which will never be paid in a life time. This is just another where of collecting our hard earned money.
Please do not allow another increase, as many people are finding it difficult to live now. It is time for the Government to change there way of spending within, and get back to servering the people for the people, not there own lifestyle.
Pohoresky, Ruth
