Legislators may act to ease increase burdens But, they, too, don’t know what form any legislation may take — including a possible extension of electric rate caps.
“We’re weighted with ways to keep rates affordable, but we must balance that with the true cost of energy,” said Republican Rep. John Evans, whose district includes the northwest portion of Crawford County. “We need to protect consumers.” Republican Rep. Michele Brooks said Pennsylvania needs to look at the issue as it develops a stronger and more competitive energy plan. “But the plan can’t consist of new taxes and fees on consumers,” said Brooks, whose district includes the southwest portion of Crawford County. “We have to balance it out,” said Republican Rep. Brad Roae, whose district covers the entire eastern half of Crawford County. “We’re going to need a lot of education (on it) for consumers and we’ll have to study it.” Keith Gushard can be reached at 724-6370 or by e-mail at kgushard@meadvilletribune.com.
