Hydro Vying for Gouger of the Year with GVW

Anything to do with a bureaucracy seems to be going absolutely mad with their charges to customers.

Just noticed the residential hydro bill crept -- albeit by only 76 kWh -- into the Step 2 rate for the period October 22nd through December 18th, 2015. 

Step 1 was 1,287 kWh, charged at $.07970...8 cents / kWh.

Step 2 is charged at $.11950...12 cents / kWh.

In 40 years?
Nope.
