"A $1-Billion Fix...Maybe"

Has Andy Dillion joined the republican party or just gone temporarily nuts? I sent the following to Dillon and the Free Press.

"Dear Editor:

Granting Utilities a monopoly in exchange for the authority to be the State̢۪s tax collector, for a fee, is a really bad idea because:

Eliminating competition in the energy supply business is wrong.

Promoting the continued use of a declining supply of fossil fuels is wrong.

Rewarding utilities for failure to upgrade their infrastructure is wrong.

Masking a tax increase with a pass through private hands is deceitful.

Its time the legislature reconsidered the honesty and transparency of the Governor̢۪s original proposal and acted accordingly. More than anything else the people of Michigan need honesty and transparency.

Sincerely,
Chuck Fellows"
