BY: John P. Calandro—Oakland County Commissioner, District #24
IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILLS 4970 THROUGH 4976 TO AMEND THE
ENERGY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS the cost of providing energy has continued to accelerate
for the past several years, mandating that energy providers revitalize and
modernize their capacity to provide affordable energy and to control future
costs; and
WHEREAS social programs such as the lifeline rate structure have
failed to meet the needs of many of our truly needy citizens and have markedly
increased the cost burden to the average rate payer; and
WHEREAS the Governor, the Legislature, the major energy provider,
and the Public Service Commission have been working in concert to develop
an energy assurance program to protect the long-term well being of the
State's welfare population, working poor, and elderly without disproportionately
burdening the average rate payer or businesses of the State of Michigan;
and
WHEREAS the passage of these pieces of legislation are a vital element
to provide for all of our citizens' and Michigan's future and will create an
atmosphere in which rate increase requests should be evaluated by the Michigan
Public Service Commission.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners goes on record as supporting House Bills 4970-4976 as
amended by the Michigan State Senate.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby request that the Michigan Public Service Commission should
exercise due diligence and understanding of the impact of the energy assurance
program and the long-term needs and well being of the people of the State
of Michigan in determining the appropriate rate levels to be allowed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent
to the Governor of the State of Michigan, all Oakland County Legislators,
the members of the Michigan Public Service Commission, and Oakland County's
Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
