Hi Charles,
Am having a hard time getting your site to open .....I am on the wonderful dialup service out in Rowley, NB. Aliant can't seem to come up with the funds for the last 12 years to improve our phone and internet services!! I was wondering if you could blog my next item, a letter to D. Hay at NB Power!! thanks....
Dear Mr. David Hay,
Thanks for telling the poor and the seniors and the fixed income people of this province, (who I might add pay your salary,) that our power rates are too low...Maybe if you earned what we did, and came down from your "Ivory Tower" you might see why we can't afford to pay anymore in hydro raises.....Try living on a measley CPP or Old Age security or a Social assistance cheque and see what you can save to put food on your table for the month after paying the horrible rates NB Power is charging us...I would also like to ask you a question Mr. Hay, do you know what the $ 20.00 a month serice fee is for, as the people who work in the srvice center give everyone a different answer, from the paper and ink for the bill to be made up, to maintenance of our meters which they don't do unless we call and compalin it isn'[t working properly!! Also one more question Mr. Hay, what do you do for NB Power to earn your $150,000. or more a year!!!

You don't have to be on a fixed income or a senior to not be able to afford the cost of power. As soon as we get in increase in pay we never get; the cost of living and all the extra taxes take it away.
Mr Hay like so many other who make this salaries ( paid by us ) do not care. He is over paid.
Most of us already have cut all the corners we can to save power.
Take a look at the people with large homes, a second home, three cars, boats, jets, every thing most of us will never afford.
Leave the average people alone; just look at the bank accounts we have( not much there); not after the cost of the necessities and tax on tax.
The government we have pay Mr Hay to say those things; they care nothing for all the hardship we have.
We pay more taxes then wealthy people; that is a known fact.
The more power the big consumers use the cheaper it is for them. Go after the real problem.
No can afford the taxes; who is going to take of the poor, the working poor and the soon to be poor. They want two classes the wealthy few and all the rest to be poor.
Look at the price of gas; we refine here, our dollar is worth more but it is cheaper for others. Why can't Saint John and all of NB get our rights back?
Irving controls the province and the politicians.
Mr Hay should be replaced.
I work at what some would call a fairly good paying job. I have a partner who also makes a decent living. We are both univerity educated and have a child. However, the cost of merely living (groc. power, phone, etc.) take a significant amount of our income. I am not complaining as I am fortunate to have my career and the things I have. I can only imagine the plight of may low income earners. When I have to pay $400 a month to be warm and have lights in my home, I think it is ridiculous. Those on low incomes cannot afford this kind of cost. In a previous post there was a line up at the food bank, that's all the people who just paid their power bill and have no money left to eat..and I can bet I'm not far off. Kids go without food and winter jackets - even when both parent work - because of the power costs. They use the summer to try and catch up and then winter hits again. Give them a break, they can't conceive of over $300,000 a year - neither can I.
