Hi all,
I see were we are receiving a 30% increase in power. I hold both Dominican and US citizenship, the one thing i can't figure out here is that in the US the Poles, the wiring and the street lights and even the controls (meter) are owned by the electric company, let me touch or modify any of that equipment and the electic company files charges on me, the home owner for destruction of property. At that time I have to Pay a outrageous fine, under vast scrutiny for at least five years and may even be incarserated. I suggest some kind of modification in the way that the electric Co. handle all of this power theivery. actually there is no difference in stealing a car or or stealing personal possession of one. Your right it not up to the police, but if bogus wire is running from a pole to a apartment complex, or a house, the owner should be held solely responsible in a court of law, if the crime is commited twice iam looking at 6 months in jail. maybe this would change the out look of some of these theives.
really guys the goverment is paying $20,000,000.00 a month and we the legals are paying facturas on time and still having extended blackouts also, lets get some legislation on this, there is someone in the wood pile so to speak.
I am writing this cause i have been a victim to were a 12 occupancy apartment connected to my air condition, and the electric company saw more than a year of on time payment from myself and my wife, but the landlord took advantage of the gringo while at the La Playa. Although the electric company made the accusation i had given to permission to run a 12 room apartment on my house. Get these power companys to prosecute some of these a**h*les and this might get a little better,
I hope that i have not offended anyone and these are only my views
thanks,
