Trading one unaccountable govt-controlled monopoly for an unaccountable govt monopoly is dumb.
The local municipality runs one of the utilities here. They raise rates to "fix infrastructure," aka embezzle money while letting the infrastructure rot. Hell yeah, fuck capitalism right?
I mean, the complaint is against corruption and mismanagement really, not the particulars of the ownership structure. A private monopoly provides poor service because of corruption. A public monopoly provides poor service because of corruption.
Utilities tend to be natural monopolies so its hard to jigger a system together where competition emerges naturally. A public monopoly might, maybe, possibly, be accountable to the public at least in principle. In practice that basically never happens though.
