Utilities Action Still Undecided
Pierre reports legislative action on regulations for sale of municipally owned public utilities remains undecided. The Senate sent the measure back to the House after amending the sale requirement to 60 percent, reversing a 65 percent plan. The current rule stands at 55 percent, with broad Senate support for 60 percent despite objections from backers of private power interests. Senator Emil Loriks of Arlington criticized the move as a delay to kill the bill, though the final vote favored 60 percent by wide margin.
