WHAT: Press conference detailing the problems with HF 577 and proposing an acceptable compromise. WHERE: Witwer Senior Center located at the corner of 2nd Ave and 3rd St in downtown Cedar Rapids (305 2nd Ave, SE, Cedar Rapids 319-398-3636). WHEN: 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, June 13, 2001 WHY: HF 577 is pending legislation that's likely to be debated during the special legislative session June 19 and 20. While there is bipartisan agreement on some parts of the bill, there are serious flaws with the power purchase section. We're glad that the legislature did not act hastily on HF 577 during the regular session. Should HF 577 be raised, the provisions regarding power purchase agreements must be taken out of the bill.
