The amendment introduced by Senator Mike Johanns to ensure complex and far-reaching cap-and-trade legislation is not slipped into law using budget reconciliation was passed in the Senate on Wednesday, April 1st with over two-thirds of the vote. The amendment ensures a full, open, and robust debate on the details of extremely complex climate legislation. Using reconciliation would have limited debate on climate change legislation and rushed through final passage of the bill, possibly in less than one day.
We are encouraged to see that Senator Johanns has recognized the impact that a cap-and-trade bill will have on electric consumers. We are expecting a debate regarding the issue to occur very soon, so we need to speak up now. Let Senator Johanns, Senator Ben Nelson, and Congressman Adrian Smith know that you are concerned about the impact climate change legislation will have on your electric bill. We need to work together with our leaders to find solutions that we can afford! Log on to www.southernpd.com/oeof, and send your email or letter TODAY!
