Today Sask. Party leader Scott Moe desperately tried to shed his reputation of jacking electricity prices for everyday people and businesses in Saskatchewan. His one-year plan to reduce power rates is a big change in direction from the Sask. Party’s long history of making life more expensive for Saskatchewan families.
FACT: Under the Sask. Party, SaskPower bills for a family with income of $75,000 have increased from $901 to $1,418 from 2007-08 to 2019-20.
This is a whopping 57 per cent increase.
This is on top of the PST increases that the Sask. Party put on everyday families – costing them more than $700 a year.
With Scott Moe’s plans for service cuts and privatization, and his dismal $0.13 minimum wage increase today, life is not getting more affordable for Saskatchewan families.
Saskatchewan can do better.
