Subject: | Requiring the PUC to keep a central database of rate increases |
It was recently brought to my attention that the PA Public Utility Commission does not have a centralized, searchable database with information regarding rate increases. I will soon be introducing legislation to require that the PUC create this database so consumers can easily access the information via a publicly accessible website. This legislation is to create transparency, accountability and protect consumers. This is a common-sense piece of legislation to establish a database that essentially should already be available. PUC has the information, but has to be looked up by a case-by-case basis. A centralized, searchable database only makes sense. I hope you will join me in cosponsoring this important legislation. If you have any questions, please contact Fallon Binner of my office at fbinner@pasen.gov. |
