[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty confused about the logistics here but this is the part I think I understand: Bowser wants to raid a renewable energy fund to pay city electric costs because the city has a budget shortfall.

I think that's where position should focus, because it's a simpler story. This is a classic case of a politician scuttling long term municipal improvement (increased renewable energy investment) in order to solve a short term political problem (addressing the revenue shortfalls).

If you contact the Council and/mayors office, focus on that. And also demand a plan from the mayor to address the revenue shortfalls. That's where the focus should be anyway. This short sighted plan won't help at all, and could ultimately hurt by driving people and businesses out if the city.[/quote]

Because the alternative is increasing taxes to pay the city’s electric bill?  Seems like a wash to the non-solar panel owning residents. Bowser seems to have found a way to transfer the cost to the richer people who own solar panels. Pretty clever.  [/quote]
