Since I don't live in Never-never land, I know that somebody's paying for it. Some of it is corporate sponsors and possibly there's some state and/or federal monies involved. I had all the lights in my office replaced with high efficiency hardware and bulbs. I received no bill for it nor did I make an attempt to find out how it was paid for. Persons that are hearing impaired have an option to get a free captioned phone. This is paid by everybody that uses a phone and a charge for this service is in their monthly billing.. I think it's about a buck.
