Reply to comment by Good-Expression-4433 in More than half of R.I. renters spend over 50% of their income on housing, new report finds by rhodyjourno

People showed up to protest at the hearings about the electricity rate hikes before last October and they still happened...

i think meaningful action requires more than a single protest/testimony at the 11th hour.

the electric rate hike sucks but we didn't even have the most extreme one in new england. having an oldass grid and other market factors werne't going to magically disappear if enough people talk about how much it sucks.
