The Quakertown Boro rate increase was heavy but well explained. My sister is served by PPL and has received several rate increases in recent years and is told to receive a very large one when deregulation ends. The Boro services are supported by our rates, not a corporate CEO. We appreciate the very low real estate tax in the town. David Zaiser wants to raise it - why? Everyone uses electric, and the big users pay much more. Those whith electric homes pay to heat just like those of us with oil who now are looking at $3.95 a gallon to prepay. We don't need our taxs raised also.

BeccaJu, you have it a little backward. "Big users" may pay more dollars, but small users, like Quakertown homes, pay a higher rate. The more you use, the less you pay per kw. Zaiser tried unsuccessfully to get that reversed, to reward conservation.
