DWP overcharges will hit City rate-payers

It rarely seems like it, but someone indeed is watching our local agency cash registers. One of the busiest is the DWP's; and now it turns out that a judge believes the cashiers on Dewap have been pocketing extra change off of County consumers, to the tune of $200 million, on behalf of the Department.

Walter Moore explains how the tentative ruling is good news for the County but maybe not such good news for we in the City:
The bad news is that now the DWP -- i.e., those of us rate-payers who live in the City of Los Angeles -- must pay about $224 million damages to the various other agencies that sued it for over-charging.
No, crime doesn't pay.

GOOD EVENING "BLOGGIN MENTOR",

Was this one time that LAUSD was right on something involving money ? I do remember that part of the "BAD BLOOD" between LAUSD and "SILLY HALL" was over LAUSD believing that they were over charged for power and water.
