Power Authority Debate Highlights Arizona Legislature
The Arizona House clashed for an hour and a half over a power authority bill amid sharp exchanges. Sponsors said the routine measure clarifies bond issuance for transmission lines and standby plants, while Rep. Robles warned it would let tax money finance lines for private utilities at high rates. Rep. Kartus argued it would separate water from power and bring far more harm than good. The bill moved to third reading with three dissenting votes. Kartus then sought a study on the Colorado River issue for committee review.
