@ThomasGalvin How about stop giving taxpayer money and resources to a company that can make its own money, and who's owners consistently fund causes to undermine public education.

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

I think @azsenatedems, @azhousedems, and @governorkatiehobbs should consider this take on how APS has been playing both sides on this bill.
Do be part of the grift!

I hope @GovernorHobbs listens to the council of fmr ACC commissioner Sandra Kennedy and vetoes HB2679.

HB2679 is the capstone of a decade of dark money from APS in AZ. https://t.co/o89hHNCK2m

Don't give in to the $$ threats of APS. Make them go back to the table and include all parties this time.

It will force fees on customers. It will allow water-sucking, air-polluting, land-poisoning coal plants to continue operating.

It will specifically harm the people on Navajo and Hopi land who helped her get elected. @tonizhoniani @AZSenateDems @AZHouseDems

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

HB2679 = Rural AZ Gets Shortchanged: It lets utilities keep freed-up capital with no promise to reinvest in communities—like Northern AZ, home to 4 coal plants. 📢 Tell @GovernorHobbs and legislators: Stop HB2679 & protect rural AZ! #StopHB2679  https://t.co/hOpjKvch6V

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

Make no mistake @AZHouseDems, @AZSenateDems & @GovernorHobbs If you support this bill you are not only assuring that dirty, water-wasting power plants will continue to operate, and that they will mostly harm people in Navajo and Hopi lands, and other rural communities.

[Arizona PIRG @ArizonaPIRG]

Great article by @beecycles on HB2679, a bad bill. Securitization can be of great benefit to ratepayers; however, this bill doesn't provide assurance that consumers will receive tangible, financial benefits. @GovernorHobbs @AZSenateGOP @AZSenateDems https://t.co/LgPzPEgbj8

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

@SWGas is pushing for an 11.8% rate hike after record-breaking profits. Meanwhile, 35% of its customers struggle to pay their bills. This isn't fair. We need policies that protect ratepayers, not corporate profits. Speak up! #StopTheHike #FairEnergyRate https://t.co/Q9B1GwkfMp

@beecycles Shocker. Not shocker.

Yes, I know tagged the UK profile. But I could not find a US profile and our friends in the UK should know this as well.

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

I bought @MerrellUK boots for more than 30 years.

When I learned where they put their money, I switched brands.

I just bought new @KEEN boots this weekend. Keen supports campaign finance reform in the US.

As the GOP is dismantling our democracy, I vote with my wallet.

If you've ever wondered what you would have done in Germany in the 1930s, you are doing it right now.

@Citibank, by not fighting back you are supporting this activity.

I have opened a credit card with a local credit union, which I know supports my community.

Goodbye.

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

This is a violation of a government contract.

This funding was designed to create high-paying clean energy jobs, clean the air and save money for Americans.

You are bending the knee to an autocrat by freezing these funds and by failing to distribute these funds.

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

@ArizonaPIRG @PinalCentral @AZHouseGOP @AZHouseDems @AZSenateGOP @AZSenateDems And @AZHouseDems and @AZHouseGOP should see this, too.

These bills are a money grab from utilities that will only hurt rate payers. Who's side are you on?

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

HB2679 = Higher Bills, No Accountability

This bill would let AZ utilities (@apsFYI, @TEPenergy, @SRPconnect) turn costs into long-term debt & slap you with a non-bypassable surcharge—one you can be sued for if unpaid. @AZHouseDems @AZSenateDems https://t.co/MxXPUD0Q8Y

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

Amazing thread. Show the corruption all in one place!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.

I think it's a story everyone needs to know.

1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

Utility-backed bill HB2679 shifts financial risk onto AZ ratepayers while protecting corporate interests. Amanda Ormond (@AzSunshineGal) breaks down why this is a bad deal for Arizona. @AzCapitolTimes: https://t.co/XlN6JJ2pvG

I don't know how any Dems can support HB2679. This article covers beautifully just what an anti-consumer, anti-climate bill this is. @AZHouseDems @AZSenateDems https://t.co/J6vThrLLVk

[Ken Clark @kenclarkforaz]

@TEPenergy is seeking to renew a 50-year-old right-of-way agreement with the #NavajoNation. The old agreement gave the utility nearly free access to the utility’s 102-mile transmission line that cuts across Navajo lands. https://t.co/QR0ckeifRt
