Miscellaneous Resolution #
By: Joseph R. Montante, MD, Oakland County Commissioner, District #26
In re: Public Services Commission Lifeline Rates
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the legislature has mandated the State Public Services
Commission to institute a new electric rate system as 'lifeline rates"; and
WHEREAS the State Public Services Commission on September 25th,
'1981, placed in effect a lifeline rate system for all electric utilities in the
state; and
WHEREAS the new rate system is grossly inequitable and based on no
economic reason whatsoever in that the rates are divided into categories on the
basis of the number of occupants in the house (two or three); and
WHEREAS the new rate system is resulting in unconscionable increases
for many residents of the State and Oakland County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners goes on record as opposing this system of rate charges known as
lifeline rates and calls on the state legislature to immediately repeal the low
setting up such a structure,
MR. CHAIRPERSON, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
