Several bills are coming up for a vote that we should oppose. Visit MEIC's Legislature Bill Tracker page for more information.
SB379 - The 'Colstrip Welfare Bill' that stiffs us ratepayers
It's 'corporate WELFARE' for NW Energy (I don't mind paying for transmission/distribution upgrades, but NOT for this!) and it is also probable it cuts out the PSC from the process, and those are the commissioners we pay $108K a year - each - to not be engaged with this? RDL - chair of CCE PS - this certainly not good for ratepayers, conservation and the Earth..... This bill will prohibit the use of state funds or other assistance to support non-profit or for-profit radio stations. If you have time, please call 1-406-444-4800 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week or however long the legislature is in session on Saturdays.
