Question for those who live in California

[ultrarunner]

Looks like residential electric Utility customers will pay a new fixed monthly charge based on income.

Most customers will pay more but people who use a lot of electricity, especially low income with electric vehicles will most likely come out ahead.

Those that tend not to use a lot like apartment dwellers with a frugal lifestyle will pay more.

The full new monthly charge is to begin at $25.15 each month discounted to as low as $6 per month for low income plus lower cost per kW.

It’s not a simple calculation and solar adds a twist.

W are they going to determine what your income level is?

 

[ultrarunner]

To start it is to be by declaration from what I read...

Hire a homeless to put the electric service into their name, pay in cash....

Wait, what? Hire a homeless person to put your home utilities in their name

Low income, low rates. You don't have to own, rent or occupy a property in order to turn on and pay for service. If the bill is paid they could care less....

I'm terrible about reading rules and using what they said not what they meant.

Looks like the proposed $6,000 per vacation home tax in Tahoe is simple.

If enacted, you have to pay it. But although you will have to pay it, you don't get to vote.

Hmmm-- something about taxation without representation?

Two letters received encouraging change of domicile enabling South Lakes Tahoe voting.

It's fundamentally wrong the entire concept of vacancy taxation...

But it is spreading with no signs of slowing down...

That lit you bought and saving to build your retirement home... Stop bad... pony up another 6k to hold onto it.

That vacation cabin you built... well unless you can prove occupied more than 180 days per year too bad and don't think you can rent it out for a couple of months because we will not allow that...

Idiotic...

Is CA Governor Newsom trying to ban guns or run for President.

Yes!

I give him credit for understanding the issue. A constitutional change is required for the changes he would like. That is the only correct path....
I disagree with premise.
