Santo Domingo.- The CEO of the State-owned electric utility (CDEEE) Wednesday said many customers in the upscale sector Puerta de Hierro who consume high amounts of energy pay as if they were poor, and 37% pay a bill of up to 200 kilos monthly, as in any poor barrio, but barely 4.3% show consumption of over 700 kilowatts per month.

Celso Marranzini said the annual losses just in that sector surpass RD$7.7 million with which it could buy hundreds streetlamps for the streets of the poorest barrios.

He said 102 customers in that a upper middle-class sector have homes with swimming pools, several air conditioners and other luxuries of any people of high income, who would qualify for the subsidy which the Government provides for the poorest.

The official said Puerta de Hierro consumed RD$17.6 million in energy from June 2011 to March 2012, but collected only RD$9.8 million, for a loss of RD$7.7 million, but noted however that there are also honest citizens in the sector who pay for what they consume.

Again, putting this information out and more importantly, making the changes that would see through corrective actions ARE the important considerations.

It is inbred into the culture no matter what the class status, don't pay what you owe.

The rich don't pay because the politicians don't pay. The poor don't pay because they can't pay. The politicians don't pay because the are entitled. Gov't blue color workers don't pay because their salaries are too low. The military does not pay because they steal.

The exception, the middle class pays and is the reason why they remain middle class. They become poor when they are no longer able to pay.

Commonly known as"Theft of service" which is defined by laws, which vary , but typically define the crime as knowingly securing the performance of a service by deception or threat, diverting another's services to the actor's own benefit,

Such laws generally classify the crime as a misdemeanor or felony according to the value of the services stolen.

Rewrite your laws and enforce them !

Building a metro so people can more easily get to the jobs they don't have is like holding a bookfair in a country where no one reads which is the same as having a painting exhibition and showing it only to the blind.

Too bad someone like Max Puig can't win. They're all thieves, but some less so.
Danilo? Hipolito?
Pitiful choices. Danilo's machine is much better oiled.
He'll win straight up. He'll maintain the status quo.......not good.
But Hipolito would take the country back 20 years.
e' 'pa 'lante que fuimos! pero donde estamos?
La misma vaina.

Slick,

Your Boy Max Puig says Lie-onel Fernadez already took us back 20 years!

A former minister in Lie-onel Fernandez’s government slaps him in Corrupt Face and calls his
Narco-Macro Economic Miracle BULL SHIT!

“Max Puig accuses Fernandez of being lax on corruption”

“He said that today the country exhibits the same levels of poverty as in 1992, while social inequality is increasingly evident among Dominicans”

That’s not crazy josean saying we have moved BACWARDS thanks to the Narc-Super Corrupt PLD led by Lie-onel , Danilo, Margarita and the bagman Felix Bautista!

“Max Puig was Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, and Labor Minister until he resigned last year to pursue political work as leader of the APD.”

Read the rest at Acento.com

“Max Puig acusa a Leonel Fernández de ser permisivo con la corrupción”

continued:

“Afirmó que hoy el país exhibe los mismos niveles de pobreza que en el 1992, mientras la desigualdad social se hace cada día más notoria entre los dominicanos y dominicanas”

PLD policies mean:
2012

-20
--------
=1992

If Danilo wins back to the future 1972!
