Voters Remember Jones on Public Utility Savings
Democratic hopeful Charles Alvin Jones argued last night that Pennsylvania’s Public Utility Commission has saved rate payers at least 10 million dollars annually since 1937. He contrasted it with the old PSC under GOP bosses, claiming tariffs were kept in check and refunds issued as cash deposits to customers. He cited expanded rural electrification and higher service under wartime needs, urging continued reform under a Democratic administration.
