I'm sorry to announce that HB2679 power; public utilities; UCC; securities (Griffin) was rushed through the Arizona Legislature this week and landed on Governor Hobbs's desk - despite the best efforts of the Sierra Club and their allies.
You can read about the good fight here:We have heard that she is planning to sign it, despite the fact that it is a bill that will help promote the dirty coal agenda. It's a blank check to utilities and benefits utility shareholders and harms utility ratepayers. Call and email the Governor right away and ask her to veto HB2679! You can call 602-542-4331 and leave a message for the Governor. She could act on the bill as early as Monday. |
When HB2679 came to the floor in the Senate and House this week, not one Republican Senator or Representative voted no on it. No Democratic Senators voted yes, but unfortunately 10 Democratic Representatives did.
Special thanks to Senator Epstein, Gabaldon, Hatathlie, and Kuby, as well as Representative Cavero and Mathis for speaking up against the bill on the floor, and to Senator Sundareshan and Representative Peshlakai who helped work against the bill, but unfortunately missed the day they voted on the bill.
| Representative Peshlakai and Simacek in the House also missed the vote. Updates on the bill: https://fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/az/57th-1st-regular/bills/AZB00018939/ |
Arizona utility wins big at state Legislature: |

For the life of me, I can't understand why Arizona Governor Hobbs and some Dems in the House supported this terrible energy bill.
