StopPATH WV

With as much resistance as we have had trying to get a landowner notification bill through the legislature to require notice to citizens that their land may be subject to eminent domain seizure for transmission lines, it's ironic to know that legislation to allow major industrial users of electricity to negotiate with power companies for special rates passed the House 98-0 and is on its way to the Governor for final approval.


This legislation will allow companies to pay lower rates while they are struggling, offset by higher rates when times are good.  What happens when a struggling company fails and never pays the offset?  Are residential users going to have their rates raised to pay the difference?



Once again, the citizens get left holding the bag.
