State Adds Fee to Utility Bills
By Matt Smith
A new fee appearing this week on your electric bill goes toward nothing to do with electricity. It's a provision recently passed in the state budget.
You may not even notice it, the new line item added to your electric bill.
It's a monthly fee charged to both residents and businesses to help pay district attorneys statewide. " State Adds Fee to Electric Bills - WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News:
Can you believe these bozo's from our area.
Assembly Majority Leader Tom Nelson says, "Without this funding, the state would have lost district attorneys, seriously threatening the public's safety."
Senator Hansen calls the fee a public benefit while maintaining that the state Democrats didn't raise taxes.
"We didn't raise any income taxes except on the higher income and we didn't raise any sales taxes," he said.
The electric companies had no say in this. In fact, some are directing customers to the state Department of Administration for questions about this fee.
It's being called a two-year fee -- at least for now.
They didn't raise taxes and it's not a tax, huh! Just in case you want to thank these gentlemen for giving you anther tax, here is where to contact them.
