Hefe grabbed your tax dollars

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.

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

And make sure your Congressman knows where
you stand: Taxpayer dollars built the dams. Taxpayer
