1. Numbers here too. Trying to keep up. Might manage to do so if our town would lay off the property tax increases. New tax bill, upped assessment by $30,000. Reason: Must fund the retirement pensions and the 100% health insurance for retirees.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. One part tells me that it is deserved, the other part screams that none of those benefits are available for the majority of us.

Of course, there are town expenses that are necessary but these two take up a huge part of the budget.

On a serious note. Regarding the DUmmie's numbers, my gas and electric bill has been down @25% a month. Not because I keep it colder or wash fewer, but larger loads...it's because we have COMPETITION here now. We can choose who supplies our electricity. Imagine that.

We'll talk about GW tomorrow when I'm digging myself out from under 2 feet of GW. Coming down pretty good now.
