It would be nice. But this appears to be nothing more than Braun postering. When was the last time the legislature denied a cost recovery mechanism proposed by electric utility companies? Imagine what it would take to rescind those now. Braun showed this last session that he has little influence over the State legislature.
Key statement:
“Over the past decade at least, the Legislature has never missed an opportunity to tilt a playing field in favor of utilities and against ratepayers,” state Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, said at IBJ’s Nov. 21 Future of Energy Summit.
Exactly.
He’s just doing this for the headline preparing to wring his hands and claim there was nothing he could do
Laws don’t matter to Republicans anymore.
