Copied from Senate GOP news:
Lawmakers Tell Governor to Take Action on Electric Rate Crisis
Lawmakers in both the Illinois Senate
and House have called on Governor Rod Blagojevich to convene a
summit to address skyrocketing electric utility rates.
At a capitol press conference,
Representatives and Senators urged the Governor to fulfill pledges
made before the election to intervene in the rate hikes.
"I have called on the Governor and
Legislative Leaders to act on this issue and have received no
acceptable response. Consumers demand action on this issue. The
sooner that we address this, the sooner residents will see the
relief that they deserve. It's time for those that promised to
address the electric rates to fulfill their commitments and break
the stalemate between the House and Senate Leadership," stressed
Senator Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville).
"Governors are elected to lead in
times of crisis ... this is definitely a crisis," stressed State
Representative Bill Black (R-Danville). "For months this critical
issue has been at the center of a power struggle between the Speaker
of the House and the Senate President, and families and seniors in
our districts have been caught in the middle with skyrocketing
electric bills. All the while, the Governor has sat on the
sidelines."
"We've been waiting for months for the
Governor to lead on this issue. I've urged him to call a Special
Session on the skyrocketing electric rates. Again today, I'm urging
the Governor to come off the sidelines and become active in this
process to provide much needed relief to the consumers of Southern
Illinois," said Senator John O. Jones (R-Mt. Vernon).
Other legislators participating in the
call for the Governor to convene an immediate electric rate relief
summit included State Senators Larry Bomke, Bill Brady and Dale
Risinger and Representatives Chapin Rose, Rich Brauer, Mike Bost,
Dan Brady, David Reis, Shane Cultra, and Jil Tracy.
