Advocates: Proposed utility deregulation will hurt consumers, small
businesses
A proposed electrical utility deregulation bill will weaken environmental
protections and raise rates for consumers and small businesses, say two
state officials in the new edition of the "Iowa News & Views" cable
television series, which appears the weeks of March 13, and March 20
throughout
the state. Gary Stewart, consumer advocate in the Iowa Attorney General's
office, and David Osterberg, environmental consultant to the Iowa
Department
of Natural Resources, discuss deregulation with host Joe Bolkcom.
If passed by the General Assembly and signed into law, the mammoth
deregulation bill would allow electrical utilities to compete directly
against one another for residential, commercial and industrial customers.
Critics fear competition will result in higher rates for residential and
small business customers and weakened environmental protection.
