[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There is no such thing as an independent agency of the DC government. They exist in the same way that unicorns exist. [/quote]

It’s not part of the DC government, period. Do some research, please.[/quote]

1. The mayor appoints most of its board members who decide rates
2. Those appointments must be approved by the DC city council
3. The city council can pass laws that change how DC water operates
4. The city council can hold oversight hearings examining how DC water operates
5. The city council can demand information from DC water
6. DC water's budget is included in the city's budget[/quote]
