The Normal Utility Bill before the smart meter was one-half to two-thirds less than the amount of electric usage we are using now. We have the prior electric bills to prove this. There is no way our electric usage increased by the amount shown in the new electric bills.
One of my first stops after learning about Smart Meters and Utility Bill Increases was Money In Politics using Open Secrets. It was there I learned about how much money was given to my local politicians from the Utility Company.
In the Prior 2 years the Utility Companies have dolled out almost Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to the StLouis Politicians.
$$2,595,708 reasons why Politicians are not listening to the People in StLouis Missouri. I'm tracking MONEY is politics with Open Secrets.

While searching for Smart Meter information and seeing all the negative things people were sharing online and on Facebook. I then searched for Class Action Lawsuit in Missouri over Smart Meters and found this and the Facebook Group
I see others in South Missouri who are part of a Class Action Lawsuit against their Utility Company. Is there anything like that in #StLouis ???

At first glance I saw $202,854.00 was given to them directly. Then I saw Lobbyist Spent $1,600,000 in 2022 and $2,190,000 in 2021. yes that is Millions of Dollars spent by Lobbyist to encourage the Politicians to create laws and regulations that will benefit their companies. All three of those amounts add up to: $2,595,708.00
Is this why our electric payments have increased? And there is another increase that is being sought by the utility company?
These Donations are not just one Sided. The Utility Company is hedging their bets and gives freely to both political parties Democrat and Republican. The next image is money given to Missouri Senators.

Are the Electricity Rates to High where you live? This maybe the Reason:
Economist and former Commissioner of the Public Utility Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) Paul Centolella explains further:A utility’s economic interests are not aligned with encouraging efficient demand participation in wholesale power markets. Most utility business models are based on earning a return on rate base, capital invested to meet consumer demand. Reducing customer demand often is in direct competition with opportunities for the utility to invest and increase future profitability. Moreover, demand reductions that reduce sales also may erode near term profits. In some jurisdictions, when sales to its own customers decline, the utility may not be able to retain any savings in fuel costs and / or profits from any off-system sales.
