Gov. Matt Meyer has signed legislation that will further protect consumers from having their utilities shut off for nonpayment, amid concern about rising bills. The amended version of House Substitute 1 for House Bill 62 was endorsed by the governor May 22.
- It would be a problem if they turned back on the power plant they shut down that kept rates reasonable. — Louis Simek
- I guess having affordable utilities is out of the question. More people will just be shut off during ambient temps and go without. Really good solutions here. Are Democrats still planning on increasing the income tax, when we are already higher than all surrounding states? — Beth Gallagher
- They are working on a way for us to pay everyone else’s bills. — Hank Vetta
