Heating woes
Hang onto your pocketbooks again; along with all of the new taxes, some disguised as fees, Wisconsinites can also count on an average of $200 more in home heating costs this winter. If you use natural gas to heat your homes, expect a 21% spike, and if you use oil, look for about a 26% spike. And if you live in a rural area and use propane to heat your home, look for a 13% spike, to an average of nearly $2,000 this winter.
Now, aren't you glad that the Democrats are preventing us from gaining access to our own natural resources? What's a couple hundred bucks to a Wisconsin family, when it means that a caribou doesn't have to duck under a pipeline or some damn fool thing like that?
