Everett: Bid to hike power rates stalls
A proposal to raise the rates Snohomish County PUD pays its largest supplier of electricity was dealt a major blow Tuesday, but isn’t dead yet, experts said.
President Bush’s bid to help pay the national debt by making energy wholesalers including the Bonneville Power Administration charge market rates for the electricity they sell didn’t make it out of the U.S. House of Representatives Budget Committee, said U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash. The U.S. Senate also left the measure out of its proposed budget.
The battle is not over because Bush can push his proposal as the budget process proceeds.
