Petition to prevent rate
charges for future n-plants
By MELISSA HILTON
Of the Emerald
An initiative petition is underway to prevenl
power companies from charging ratepayers for nu
clear power plants that have not yet been built.
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useful was repealed.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.
