@progressivemaryland: Enough is enough. We are urging the Maryland Public Service Commission to reject BGE’s proposed $156.1 million rate hike that could add another $8 a month to electric bills while increasing the utility’s profit rate to 10.4%. Maryland families are already paying too much for energy. We need the PSC to put ratepayers first, rein in wasteful spending, and reject another increase that asks working families to pay more while BGE profits more. Our message ahead of the hearing was simple: no more rate hikes.
After multiple recent hikes, I’m at the absolute MAX I can pay them….what do I do after that?? Eventually they’ll just shut me off and let me die.

Everyone please take the time to look up Exelon’s political campaign donations in Maryland. Then you will understand now these hikes are getting passed and approved.

Maybe they need to return to giving us options for utilities. Why did the law change to the point where only BGE/PEPCO are our only options?? They're literally the same company.
