It’s been a busy couple of days for SB 408, the bill that CUB helped write and has been strongly supporting to make utilities more accountable for the taxes they collect as part of rates.
On Saturday, July 30, the bill was passed by the Oregon House by a remarkable vote of 54-6. And earlier today, the Senate agreed to accept the minor amendments made by the House and repassed the bill on a unanimous 30-0 vote. SB 408 now goes to Governor Kulongoski for his signature. While the Governor has not indicated definitively whether he will sign the bill or not, CUB believes that he will acknowledge the importance of this issue and defend customers. Please feel free to contact the Governor and urge him to sign SB 408 by calling him at 503-378-4582.
