[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s ridiculous in 2026 that lower income and economically disadvantaged people even have to pay for electricity at all. There should be a city voucher program to cover electricity cost for people with incomes under a certain threshold. The entire program could be funded with a very small fee on the electric bills of commercial users and high income households. [/quote] Sure, we already incentivize a significant part of DC's population to not work by giving them free housing, medical care, groceries, and a monthly stipend; we might as well add electricity to that list. We should also ask them what additional things they'd like to get for free courtesy of rich people, and expand the list to accommodate additional wishes that they have. [/quote]
