This July and January 2009 water, electrical, and sewer service charge rates are going up. This is perfect timing for helping our full blown recession. Shame on our past and present mayor's and all of Los Angeles city council members past and present who allowed DWP and Bureau of Sanitation to get away with wasting our ratepayers money all of these years.
There has never been proper oversight and the result is a broken electrical system with not enough money to fix it. So DWP says. I'm not so sure! The water rate increase was not properly represented by DWP general manager. Government regulators are causing most of the water side expenses. Not the crumbling of the water line infrastructure. The 63 million on hold should take care of any water rate increase. DWP has been caught not fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility in making the required reservoir fixes. The money once again has been wasted on high union salaries, employee perks, and expensive sub contractors.
It is my opinion the waste will still continue and rate increases will continue for years until the mayor and city council get control away from IBEW union and all other city employee unions. STOP giving in to their extortion by striking. These city employee unions have caused high salaries and difficulty to remove under performing employees to make room for fully trained employees that can do the job and not pay high sub contractors. It's really going to get interesting when oversight committee's do not see the infrastructure fixes taking place within the next few years.
