David McTeague, one of the state coordinators of Oregonians for Utility Reform (OUR), said utilities are ‘really trying to sell this line—that the ratepayers should pay in advance for future generation capa city,” at an OUR meeting Monday. “The capital requirements for these plants are so massive; they’ve got to come up with all these gimmicks for getting up-front money,” McTeague said. Oregon is one of only 16 states that allows pri vate utilities to include the cost of an uncompletec power plant in its rate bases during the entire con struction project, he said. In 1971, Oregon law allowing private utility com panies to charge only for facilities that were used and useful was repealed. In 1975 Charles Davis, the public utilities com missioner, allowed Portland General Electric (PGE) to increase its rate base in order to finance the Trojan nuclear power plant while it was still under construc tion. Since then PGE and Pacific Power and Lighl (PP&L) have charged ratepayers for the construction of the Skagit nuclear plant, the Pebble Springs nu clear plant and plants that have not even been granted construction permits by the government. Senate Bill 453 was introduced in the 1977 state Legislature to prohibit this method of financing, but was not voted out of committee. After the legislative session, State Rep. Bob Vian started OUR and the initiative petition drive. The initiative was filed in July, 1977, and accord ing to Oregon Atty. Gen. Jim Redden’s interpretation, “would prohibit public utilities from charging custom ers rates based on a rate base which includes the cost, including construction or acquisition cost, of real or personal property not presently used to pro vide utility service to the customer.” A similar initiative measure was passed in 1976 in Missouri, McTeague said. The public service commission in Missouri had allowed two utilities to include the cost of construction of nuclear power plants in their rate base. The successful initiative did not stop nuclear power in Missouri, but it did impede the proponents of nuclear power plant construction by making it more difficult to finance, according to McTeague. A1975 poll, conducted by Bardsley & Haslacher for PP&L, showed although 75 percent of the Oregon public favored nuclear power, 51 percent opposed the inclusion of construction costs in utility rates. McTeague believes the number of Oregonians op posed to paying for facilities not in use has increased since 1975. "High utility rates are the number one issue in the state right now,” McTeague claimed. “I'm convinced if we can put this measure on the ballot we can win with it, with a low-cost campaign,” he said. “What we need now is the signatures to get it on the ballot.” In order for the initiative to appear on the ballot this November, the signatures of 46,235 registered voters must be collected before July 2. Only 13,000 signatures have been obtained so far, mostly at the state fair last summer. McTeague estimated OUR needs 5,000 signatures from Eugene. “Right now is the crucial time,” insisted OUR Treasurer David Buchanan. Only 11 people, however, came to the meeting held to coordinate efforts to collect signatures in the Eugene-Sprinqfield area. The Trojan Decommissioning Alliance (TDA) a greed to distribute petitions at their headquarters in WOW Hall downtown, and at the Eugene Saturday Market beginning in April. Petitions will also be avail able outside Mac Court during spring registration. Fadeley points to public trust in government as major goal “We’ve got to stop being crooks and you’ve got to stop calling us crooks.’’ So said Sen. Ed Fadeley D-Eugene, Monday night at the Lane County Common Cause monthly meeting, which was held in the EMU. Fadeley said restoring public trust in government should be the major goal of the Oregon Legisla ture. Opening up government to the people is the main goal of Common Cause, a national or ganization dedicated to accomp lishing procedural reform in gov ernment. The senator said reform issues supported by Common Cause are helpful in re establishing public trust. Fadeley said a change in public attitudes toward politicians is es sential before any real reform can be achieved. He said as long as people expect politicians to be “cynical opportunists” and “mas ters of double talk,” some politi dans will live up to these expecta tions. In the 18 years Fadeley has served on the state legislature, he says he has seen a dramatic change in the attitudes of the pub lic as well as those of government officials. “I’d like to return to earlier ex pectations and those results,’’ Fadeley said. Fadeley expressed concern that the label of politician has be come almost a derogatory term. He said jokingly that he used euphemisms such as "public ser vant” or “officeholder” to avoid saying he is a politician. The legislature needs to be in session either for a longer period of time or more frequently said Fadeley. Other areas in which Fadeley favors reform are the manner in which bills are assigned to committees, limits on the number of bills introduced and time limits on bills. Fadeley told the group of about 35 that the Oregon Government Ethics Commission doesn’t work because of the attitude of its members. ‘The Ethics Commission is a disappointment; it needs to have heat on it all the time,” he said. In some instances the simplest explanation for a legislator’s mis conduct was accepted by the ethics commission without further action according to Fadeley. He said the commission's standard of acceptable conduct may be somewhat lower than the Com mon Causers and the public want. Each month Common Cause invites someone involved in state politics to speak about political re form he or she feels is needed in state government. State Rep. Mary Burrows will speak to Common Cause March 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the EMU, room to be posted. CONGRATULATIONS TO: Rody, Sue, Josl & Janet New members of PIKA Polar Bear Club. Johnny 3:1 GAY?
