WASHINGTON, July 16 — Millions of Americans are struggling to cope with sky-high electricity bills for their homes. Among them, it turns out, is Vice President Dick Cheney, the Bush administration's point man on energy policy, whose home is a 33- room mansion on the leafy grounds of the Washington Naval Observatory.
Now, the White House has cited the large and unpredictable energy bills of the vice president's official residence in urging Congress to relieve him of using any of his official budget to pay for electricity. The entire electric bill — an estimated $186,000 this year — would be shifted to the Navy, which owns the house... the rest (http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/17/politics/17MANS.html)
Maybe those of you in California can get Congress to make someone else pay your bill. :laugh:
