Sun-Times Editorial: Exelon’s Rate-Hike Proposal is a Bad Bill

Newspapers are sounding the alarm about the Exelon bailout bill.

Chicago Sun-Times: “Exelon’s Rate-Hike Proposal is a Bad Bill”

A bad bill in Springfield would raise our electricity bills to protect Exelon’s bottom line. The Legislature should either rewrite it significantly or flick the off switch altogether.

There is a feeling here of a company trying to socialize the risks while keeping the profits private.

Crain’s Chicago Business: “THIS ‘MARKET SOLUTION’ ONLY BENEFITS EXELON”

You know you’ve got a good thing going when profitability is only a bailout away…

Bailouts for profitable enterprises? That’s not the kind of juice that ratepayers should be shelling out for.

Belleville News Democrat: “DON’T FALL FOR EXELON BAILOUT”

Good old Exelon. The company has come up with legislation to subsidize its nuclear reactors, get electric users throughout the state to pay for it and claim it’s in the interest of clean energy.

State lawmakers need to see this bill for the dirty trick it is and kill it.

Businesses and governments can learn how much the bailout would cost them at www.noexelonbailout.com/calculator.

Just say no to the Exelon bailout. Vote no on SB1585/HB3293.
