Bastards at OPG (Hydro)
Ontario residents currently pay a debt retirement charge, "a charge per
kilowatt hour of electricity consumed that is added to electricity bills
to help pay down the stranded debt of the former Ontario Hydro". This
$0.0070 per kilowatt-hour surcharge is added to every customer's monthly
utility bill.
In his annual report delivered on December 5, 2006, Ontario Auditor
General Jim McCarter announced that among a number of questionable
expenditures was $127 million worth of goods and services using corporate
charge cards, but with few slips or receipts to justify the charges.
A petition has been created requesting that the Ontario Ministry of
Energy make a $127 million adjustment to compensate consumers for this
unapproved use of taxpayer money, either by directly removing it from the
current outstanding residual stranded debt or by a reduction of the
monthly debt retirement charge.
People should go to Jail over this, but nope, swept under the rug...
well... here is the petition to remove this 120 mil from the debt load we are paying .
