I for one don't mind helping out. If I can't take an extra 3 or 4 bucks outta my budget monthly, then i need to find a new job. What erks me though is just what Mike said. Just because they couldn't get insurance doesnt mean they couldn't open an account and put money in it each month sorta saving for a rainy day. The next time a storm comes through and someone's power goes out i promise you this topic will come back up. People perceive this as paying to reinforce the infrastructure. That's not the case at all.
