Daetz nize but it doesn't mean they would pay better to their employees.

I do agree though, APS is rip off and depending on where you live, you don't have a choice (isn't this Monopoly?).

I know people that work for both companies. If you can get in, you'll stay. They both provide good benefits, and electicity is a commodity that we'll always need.

Oh sorry, misread the post. Thought he was choosing between the two for power choice.

You will be pleasantly surprised with property taxes in the Phoenix area. For the home size you mentioned, you will pay approx. $1500/yr or 1/4 of what you pay in CT.

My apologies as well. I thought he was comparing the two in terms of utilities.

Turco, it's only a "Monopoly" if you own both the electric company and water works.
