Soaring profits for CPS -- Soaring debt for customers

Even without the rate increase yet in place, CPS profits are growing -- at the expense of us, the rate-payer. (see San Antonio Express-News article). Costs for electricity this summer, like gas, are the highest residents have ever seen.

These funds need to be directed to the green economy / sustainability programs the City and CPS were hyping a couple months ago. Funds should be directly reinvested into the community, to increase energy efficiency of homes, purchase solar and wind power and give grants to low-income families to weatherize their house.

We don't need any more billboards. (like the one near I-35 and SW Military telling folks 'thermostats don't bit.' Houses on the south side DON'T HAVE THERMOSTATS... perhaps just a little more thought could go into these plans). It is time for something useful. Create green jobs, decrease pollution, help families save money.

Come on Mayor Hardberger, let's do it right.
