Maybe Exelon should bail out CPS and the City of Chicago instead of demanding a $1.6 BILLION subsidy form struggling family, business and government ratepayers.

“A plan to financially reward Exelon Corp. for producing no-carbon energy and potentially save three Illinois nuclear plants from closure would cost ratepayers $1.6 billion over five years and strain budgets for financially strapped businesses and municipal governments, a study released Tuesday found.” - Associated Press, 4/21/15

Chicago Tribune: “Exelon-backed legislation could cost ratepayers $1.6B, study says”

We simply can’t afford to pad the pockets of Exelon shareholders while governments from Chicago to Cairo are in such dire straits. 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.
