Co operatives Reject State Commission Rules
Rural electric co operatives in Iowa voiced strong opposition to regulation by a proposed state public utilities commission. A managers’ resolution urged the association to seek exclusion of co operatives from any new five member panel, while Updegraff outlined a 70 page bill creating the commission to oversee securities, services and rates for utilities including gas electricity and railroads. The group debated whether municipally owned entities would be included and emphasized the need for improved regulation without harming residents.
