We got two emails from alert readers within two days that both related to our electric bills.
Here is the text of the first one:
Ever read your electric bill. I find a “Military Base Discount Recovery Factor” charge – with two meters it totals to $1.00
Is EPE charging me because Fort Bliss gets a discount?
We deserve better

David K. over at Refuse the Juice recently published a post that in part dealt with the lack of influence El Paso has at the congressional level.
He also had some interesting thoughts about the upcoming congressional race.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Benjamin Franklin
Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. John Stuart Mill

Recently the judge in the EPISD administrators case declared a mistrial.
It seems that the prosecution team failed to turn over evidence that would have helped the defense.
Without regard to consideration of whether the defendants are guilty or not, we were distressed to read some of the comments on one of the local television station’s facebook page:
The judge is probably in on it too or paid off… gotta love the corrupt justice system in El Paso
Makes u wonder of judge got paid.
Judge briones got $$$$$ for it

Can someone out there help us to understand how a United States Navy warship accidentally collided with a cargo ship?
