[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s see Democrats in charge everywhere in DC. How do we extract more money from the masses in a way that will not arouse too much angst?  Increase costs of basic utilities they can’t live without such as water and electricity.

You get the government and quasi government services you choose via elections.  [/quote]

I’m sorry, but this is just ignorant. DC Water is an independent agency with an appointed board that includes reps of neighboring counties. Trying to blame everything on a political party is kinda pathetic.[/quote]

Sorry you are being naive.  Here is how the board is appointed, as copied from the DC Water website.  DC Water is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 11 principal and 11 alternate members. The Board is composed of six District of Columbia representatives, two each from Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, and one from Fairfax County in Virginia.

The Mayor of the District of Columbia appoints, and the DC Council confirms, all six District Board members and alternates, including the Chairman. In addition, the Mayor appoints the five principal and alternate members who represent the surrounding jurisdictions based on executive submissions from those jurisdictions.[/quote]
