It is a disgrace; fortunately it is a small agency. Don’t even get me started on the Employment Security Commission, where people (senior staff and legislators) should be doing the honorable their and falling on their swords.

Then, it'll be a "win" because he will have "saved" $9 per home, and there will still be enough to fund Consumer Affairs going forward. Also, once a new fee gets in place, it *never* goes away, even if/when the economy recovers. I don't think this one would be any different.
