Then denied you cheaper electricity. ** began 35 years ago with the genesis o f the most awesome hydropower network in the world. By Congressional law. the idea was simple: electricity from the Northwest s taxpayer-built dams would go first to rural and domestic users people like you in your homes. But times changed, and so did the interpretation of the Federal law Today, it doesn t matter that your taxpayer dollars built these dams. If you re a residential customer of Pacific Power or any other investor- owned utility (as about two-thirds of the homes to the Northwest are), you re denied access to this less expensive electncity What you get instead are higher hom e electric bills. "fo cut your home electnc costs. Pacific Power s been fighting for access to federal hydropower all the way to the courts. Now. leading m em bers of Congress have recognized that legislative action can and should bring you your share If you re a custom er of an investor-owned utility like Pacific Power, proposed legislation can mean a 20% cut to hom e electnc bills. Im m ediately And more cost cuts will come. F m a ly customers o f all utility companies, investor-owned and public alike, will equally share the hydropower tax dollars generate. Don Frisbee. Pacific Power s Board Chairman, testified before Congress to response to proposed legislation. If you d like to read what he had to say, just ask one o f the people in your Pacific Power office for a copy of his statem ent And make sure your Congressman knows where you stand: Taxpayer dollars built the dams. Taxpayer hom es should share the benefits. Reallocation of federal hydropower, through Congressional action, is the way to d ip his wings The People a t Pacific Power.
