Referendum on Public Authority for Electric Power Transmission
The measure would fix rates and charges for electric power and other services and avoid state regulation. The Public Utility Commission would still review private utility contracts with wholesale water sources. The PAM authority could issue debt payable from Sea revenues and tax exempt but remitted to the General Fund. Funds flow to education and school needs. The state grants land access and requires annual audited statements. Tomorrow: four other measures on the ballot.
