Right on post-election schedule, the Walker solar taxes roll out

Now that the election is over, Walker's pro-business Public Service [Sic] Commission majority is beginning to roll out new mandatory charges on all customers of the state's pro-GOP monopoly utilities that are designed to increase profits and discourage solar and other alternative power generation.

More of the rigged game.

And the timing is not a coincidence - - plus, all the utilities, beginning with the Green Bay operation today, will get nearly everything they want - - from you and me.

As I wrote a month ago:

The rate increases new taxes sought by the big utilities would slam people who've invested in solar equipment and can even return whatever surplus power they generate to the utility and other customers at the very time solar is catching on worldwide because everyday people want cleaner air through greener power. 

It is wonderful that people are fighting back with comments and petitions and even ads, but don't be surprised if the PSC holds its decision announcement until after the election November 4th. 

That's to protect the same people and party that already have gerrymandered the Legislature, rigged ballot access and election control through voter ID and fixed judicial reviews in favor of corporate agendas at the State Supreme Court - - all to make sure big business gets what it wants.
