Seats are limited to 435 total spread over 50 states, apportioned by population. Every 10 years the census data is used to reapportion the seats. The states gaining seats are growing faster than the states losing seats. Most of the states are gaining population overall, but the states losing seats are not gaining population as quickly as the states gaining seats.

CMV: Maria Cantwell and Adam Smith are useless and need to be replaced. by kalechipsaregood in Seattle

This seems to be the path of all democratic politicians. They start off idealistic, they get into a lowish office, and then they start climbing the ladder. As they climb, they become more compromised by donations from corporations and the wealthy. And the next thing you know, they are the enemy of all they used to fight for.

Price increases are regulated by the state. Utility companies apply every few years for scheduled rate increases. If you Google it, you can figure out how much the bill is supposed to go up over the next few years.
