Editorial Boards Across the State Oppose the Exelon Bailout - Will Lawmakers Continue to Rush Through the Largest Rate Hike in U.S. History?
Wednesday, Nov 30, 2016 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] “…Repeatedly putting the thumb of government on the scale to determine which energy industries win and lose is no way to run an economy… Rushing to pass this very complex legislation, with its additional government distortion of the robust energy supply market, is the wrong way for Springfield to expend energy.” State Journal Register, 11/30/16 - Our View: Too many unknowns remain regarding energy legislation “A massive energy policy overhaul that affects every resident and business should not be rushed through the handful of days dedicated to the fall Veto Session..” Crain’s, 11/26/16 - Energy bill improved, but again—why the bailout for money-losing nukes? “…one troubling fact remains: Exelon is getting a bailout… In any other business, owners themselves would have to deal with a money-losing operation. Exelon thinks it’s exceptional, however. Why should Illinoisans absorb the cost of keeping these unneeded plants open?” Chicago Sun-Times, 11/16/16 - Springfield electric bill fails to put customer first “This is no way to encourage manufacturers and residents to choose Illinois… this bill fails to put the customer first.”
Stop the $13 billion Exelon bailout. Vote NO on SB 2814
