    This is not a partisan issue. See California, a very blue state, doing the exact same thing.

    Pull your head out of the sand.

      Commission Chair Jim O’Connor told reporters Friday that he and three Republican colleagues approved the new rate plan without knowing the exact impact it would have on customers since it was projected to be “in the ballpark” of about 8%. O’Connor reasoned that the margin of error was too small to delay voting for another day.

      The Democrat on the committee voted no

      OP was mocking the urgency and willingness to get the deal done, not just having a rate increase.

        Yes and the democratically controlled CPUC in CA did similar. They rushed through rate increases and reimbursement reductions on the whims of the power companies.

        This is not a republican vs democrat issue. This is showing regulatory capture around the country.

      Please cite your source that shows that California raised rates customer have to pay simply because they are solar customers.

      Please don’t post NEM 3.0 stuff, because you know thats not the same thing as your statement claims.
