The Public Utility Commission of Texas told 391,000 low-income and elderly residents that the LITE-UP Texas program, which reduced their electricity bill by 10%, would end in September.

Texas Representative Sylvester Turner said the state is "stealing from the elderly and poor to fill their coffers."

"We are using their money as an 'under table tax' to balance the budget," he said.
