Jillio has stated before and again and again that polls are not reliable.
They are inaccurate. It targets a specific group, NOT everyone will take a poll.
I hope they revise down your bill.Well they say they are testing a "smart meter"..... It's not just me though it's the whole area so something is messed up. I will look up the bill in a bit and give you the Kwh break down
Edit
I just found the problem......Our electric company made some changes in January. For some reason the computer changed my rate from residential to commercial. Weird. Sending them an email now......Kwh stayed close to the same.....but the average charge went from 12.9 to 36.7.
I hope they revise down your bill.
Ours was $161. We get it averaged every year so that the monthly bill never "surprises" us.
My electric bills were triple the normal rate the last 4 months......Colder than normal temps played a part. Can't figure out the rest.....they are" looking into it"

Nice... Just nice...
That $1185 can pay for the place I live in, all of our utilities.. And have some cash left over to spare.
Awesome
They'll fix it, im sure.
Wow! They don't charge us for that service.They have that here too. They charge $5 a month to do it which is a ripoff so I never have done it. I may now. My neighbors acct says commercial too. You have to go online to check the account details.......
I have probably prepaid my electric bill for the year once they make the correction....Lol

(to read more - click on the link above)We’ll know more about the short-term reaction to the historic House passage of healthcare reform on Tuesday. That’s when we will have the results of a new Monday night Gallup poll gauging attitudes a day after passage.
Meanwhile: Do we have a good fix on where the public stood on healthcare reform just as it was passed by the House Sunday night?
I’ve been studying a series of polls conducted on this issue over the last two weeks. One conclusion: A good deal of variance in the public’s response across surveys.
Our most recent Gallup poll found a three percentage point tilt against Congress passing the legislation. Two other recent polls (Pew and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics) showed the healthcare legislation opposed by 10-point margins or higher. The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll asked two separate questions about the legislation. One showed a one-point favor over oppose margin. The other showed an eight-point opposition margin. A new poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds a four-point favor over oppose margin.
We note differences across surveys in how the questions were asked. Some survey questions included explicit references to Democrats and to the president. Others do not. Some asked a basic favor or oppose question about the plan. Others asked more explicitly about Congress voting for or against the plan. The aforementioned Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll asked a favor or oppose question and a more complex “want the plan to pass” question. The latter got the one-point affirmative margin. The former received the eight-point opposition margin. Each question in each poll was placed in a different spot in different poll contexts. One poll used registered voters. The rest used national adults.
Wow! They don't charge us for that service.

Question: Is there any provision for a part-time employee getting health insurance from their employer under the new health care bill?
Answer: It's not in the employer responsibility provision to offer health insurance to their part-time employees under the new law.
However, employers who have more than 50 full-time employees are required by 2014 to offer coverage to employees or pay a $2,000 penalty per employee after their first 30 if at least one of their employees receives a tax credit.
Question: I have been watching all of the debating. I still cannot figure out, what does this mean to me? I'm an unemployed 56-year-old. Lost my health care. Cannot afford COBRA. Now, what is there for me? I have a daughter in college. My insurance company refused to pay for therapy on my knees, calling it pre-existing. My unemployment just ran out. Now what?
Answer: When the insurance exchange opens, as required by the health care bill, people who are self-employed or whose employers don't offer coverage can purchase a plan. If you lost a job, you could get insurance through this new marketplace. Also, once this exchange opens, private insurers will no longer be able to turn away people with medical problems or charge them more. Individuals would be required to purchase coverage or face a fine of up to $695 or 2.5 percent of income, whichever is greater, starting in 2016. The plan includes a hardship exemption for poorer Americans. Exemptions will be granted for financial hardship, those for whom the lowest-cost option exceeds 8 percent of an individual's income and those with incomes below the tax filing threshold (in 2009, the threshold for taxpayers under age 65 was $9,350 for singles and $18,700 for couples).
Hubby doesn't have any full-time or permanent part-time employees so he dodged that bullet. Whew!
