Democracy Has Prevailed.

December 4, 2007

PA HB 824 goes down in flames -- or should that be icicles?

After returning from the City-County Building, I got word on my answering machine that Pennsylvania HB 824 died big time in Committee.

Most of the Dems also voted against it. Word is that there was a huge disinformation campaign about the bill.

Can we guess that the utility companies were alerted to the vote before citizen groups? Well, I guess that depends on whether or not you believe that your average citizen activist has more money to contribute to certain politicians than utility companies do.

Apropos of nothing, it's 29 degrees and snowing today in Pittsburgh.
