The Delaware Gazette

Heaven help us: If it’s not politicians, its bureaucrats

In a recent issue of The Delaware Gazette (August 3), I was stunned by two arti­cles; one for its sub­stance and the other for its tone. Par­tic­u­larly upset­ting was the fact that the under­ly­ing “mes­sages” were being deliv­ered by pub­lic employ­ees, not politi­cians. The first arti­cle titled “Ohio plan would trade elec­tric rate cuts for jobs” described a pro­posal from the Pub­lic Util­i­ties Com­mis­sion of Ohio (PUCO) to lower elec­tric rates for busi­nesses that cre­ated jobs for Ohioans, with dis­counts of up to 20 per­cent. So far, so good given the need for jobs.
