Outrage over tripling energy bills in deep blue state threatens to end reign of Dem officials defending hike
[Daily Mail, whree A erica gets its news] New Jersey residents are up in arms over huge spikes in their energy costs, leading to speculation it could prove fatal for Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
The New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved a 17-20 percent hike in June for the majority of households in The Garden State.

Republicans in the state have claimed it is tied directly to Democratic Governor Phil Murphy's move to shut down the state's nuclear and coal plants in 2017.

Murphy touted offshore turbines as the way forward, but none of them have yet to be completed due to issues around costs.

According to the Wall Street Journal, electric bills in the state now rank as the 12th highest in the nation, with prices 15 percent higher than the national average.

The outlet also reported the state is becoming increasingly depending on out-of-state generation to meet the electricity demand.

One resident who spoke with Fox News told the outlet of their horror and confusion over the price gouging.

One woman said: '$200 more, I know my electrical bill. I was shocked. So to say the least, I'm very disappointed.

#1 "...So to say the least, I'm very disappointed." Stop voting for Democrats. You get what you deserve.

#2 Scott Presley is targeting NJ. I expect him to show results as the Dems help him more than the GOP does.
