Gas bill lobbying debate spurs testimony before committee
Heyke recounts talks with Adams suggesting administration not backing the bill though impressions vary. He says no clear results from the visit and classifies it as broad lobbying. Distributors oppose the bill citing risks to 26 million gas customers while contributing 37,000 to the council’s fight. 27,000 spent on economics and public information. Next hearing features UAW president testimony on union activities against the measure.
