Democrats rethink stand on changes in utility regulation

March 30, 2001 By admin

Democrats who’ve been criticizing a bill that would ease restrictions for building new power plants are now calling for action on the bill. House Democrat Leader Dick Myers of Iowa City says he wants new electric generating stations built in Iowa. He says though he doesn’t want to give away the store to utilities to get it done.Myers is working behind the scenes with the Republican Leader of the House, trying to develop a compromise on the issue.House Republican Leader Christopher Rants of Sioux City said this past week that he’s willing to delay action on the bill until next year so Iowans can see this summer’s power crisis in California and change their minds about the importance of the bill.
