Governor endorses utilities bill with broad powers
The governor says he approved the measure after study and a legal opinion from ex-Supreme Court Justice Bennett Van Syckel. He cites ample power for the commission to require compliance, and notes all utility classes fall under the act. He stresses the eighth section bars municipal grants without board approval after a hearing, blocking local favoritism. He also sent a message urging strengthening provisions for rate making and enforcement.
