That’s right, Mr. Wimmer is at it again. Instead of wasting our time with state gun laws, he is now wasting our time because of a $1.20 fee. You see Questar gas charges us a $.10 a month fee to help other low income citizens pay for their utilities. Rocky Mountain power has a similar fee. But Mr. Wimmer hates this idea. He hates that Questar would force us all to pay $1.20 a year to help out our neighbors. Instead he wants to eliminate the fee and force them to ask permission to charge the $.10 fee.
The Salt Lake Tribune has a nice little article on his bill here: (See Here)
My favorite quote is this:
"They [residents] don’t give the utility permission to take their money and just give it to someone else," Wimmer said. If the companies want to raise the money, customers should sign up and agree to the extra charge.”
Man…so what he is saying is: How dare that company come up with a cost effective way to help people who can’t afford it? They should have asked permission first! What does he want, Tiny Tim to come to his house and beg for more porridge to see this is a great program. I mean if this was $20 bucks I would be worried, but it is a freakin’ $1.20!
Not sure what the Rocky Mountain Power fee is, but I tell you I am glad to pay it. In fact, I am willing to pay Mr. Wimmer’s because he obviously hates charity or dealing with real issues.
Please tell me I am not crazy on this.
