I was disgusted last year when hearing that they were granted a fuel adjustment mechanism, only to hear recently that they have been abusing this thru their parent co., Emera.

All they are doing is looking after their stockholders at our expense. I'm incensed at the thought of us propping up the employee pension plan through another one of the constant rate adjustments that we are forced to pay on an annual basis.

We pay the Utility Board big salaries, and for what----So they can rubber stamp their rate applications.

I don't know which is worst---The oil companies gouging us on a weekly basis or NSPI. One is as bad as the other!

I'm at least pleased to see that the government is taking some action against limiting what ratepayers pay towards the overpriced executive salaries. Let them justify these costs to their shareholders and then we will see them come down. We can't relent on this company as they are gouging us to death.

Power should give all our money back . Either in free power or a credit on our power bills in the future ,
according to the laws this is steeling , no other persons would get away with it , Why should they , It is hard enough to survive in Nova Scotia , without having a mega company steel from the people of the province .

Why bother trimming costs when you are guaranteed to reach your goals regardless!
