Utilities and legislators must stand up for consumers and demand reform rather than allowing PJM’s disinformation to dominate the conversation. Renewable energy products and demand response programs must be part of the solution. dispatch.com/story/opinion/…

tsabetta's tweet card. PJM should take responsibility for its part in Ohio's power shortfalls and soaring prices. Instead, it spreads misinformation.

Seems like a pretty reasonable request of @PUCOhio to me given the circumstances.

DDave Anderson@cleantechfacts · May 29

The @PUCOhio should provide a live stream + recordings of next month's hearings in the commission's House Bill 6 cases. Public deserves to see FirstEnergy's former executives + lobbyists testify about the impacts of the utility's corruption on ratepayers dis.puc.state.oh.us/CaseRecord.asp…

Thanks to Reps. Humphrey and Brewer and Sens. Blessing and Ingram for never giving up on putting Ohioans with debt-related suspensions back on the road. This will be life-changing for so many. @latynamhumphrey @RepBrewer @LBlessing308 @cingram32

OOhio Poverty Law Center@OhioPovertyLaw · Apr 9

Ohioans who have been shouldering the burden of debt-related driver’s license suspensions will soon be able to return to the road, as HB 29 goes into effect. Beginning today, person’s ability to pay a fine or fee will no longer determine whether they are free to drive in Ohio!

Tracy Sabetta@tsabetta · Apr 4
