Lower your natural gas bill by 20% in Ward I!

Amend State of Nebraska statute: Section 14-2116(2) Did you know 85% of Bellevue gets its natural gas from MUD? MUD is a publicly-owned utility. It doesnâ€™t make a profit to distribute to shareholders. That way it ensures its customers a much lower rate. Wouldnâ€™t you like a lower rate too? Vote DAWES! Over 95% of the homes in Ward I get their gas service from a for profit company, Black Hills Energy, at over a 20% higher cost. ALL of Olde Towne users pay the higher rate. In the state statute mentioned above, we only need to change the wording from â€œmetropolitan classâ€ to â€œa population of 38,000.â€ The legislature used that figure to force Bellevue to move from a volunteer to full-time fire department.

With that statute change, MUD can then use eminent domain to automatically take over the gas service in the 15% service area of Black Hills Energy in Bellevue. Doing this would save money for Bellevue public and private schools, your church, ALL the businesses in Old Towne, the Bellevue Senior Community Center, the Bellevue Volunteer Firefighters Hall, and the City of Bellevue. The city alone has city hall, the police records building, the fire station, and a truck facility. Vote DAWES!

See the bolded part. Steve needs to misuse eminent domain for the theft of property, piping and equipment to make this scheme work.

Steve's a socialist. Govt theft makes everything so much simpler. www.electstevedawes.com

Hope y'all realize that Steve CAN'T back this idea up. He can't do a thing.
this is a STATE statute. The state senate and congress have to make the amendment and the Governor has to sign it.

Once again, Steve is impotent to do a thing with this idea.

heck, if this is so easy, why wait for Steve to get elected, just float the proposal NOW and bypass Mr Dawes entirely. No one needs to elect Steve Dawes to bring this about. Just call your state rep.

Steve's crack website team had best update the site to ensure such bold, enlightening socialist policy.

Call it the Pass Steve's Gas Bill.

Well, from high school social studies I remember Nebraska alone has a unicameral legislature - just one house - unless it's changed, which a quick nadining could check.

But one house or two, it's all bright crimson red. That's the wrong color for expropriating corporate assets.

More than likely, though, they'd be happy to work with a lamebrain socialist Mumia-lover from Bellevue.

Exactly.

I thought the big guy was going to stick with city council issues, as he said in response to the questions about family values, the Constitution, what not.

Hi5 for making me laugh.

Hey Steve, you finally say something and behold: No one needs YOU to implement your idea. If this is so easy, any of your opponents can pull strings and get the amendment proposed tonight in the state house.
You better beat them to the punch and pull a few strings yourself.

Now's the time to show your mettle, Steve. Call the Sarpy county democrats and get this ball rolling. If you can pass this gas before you even get elected, they you will win hands down.

do it, Steve. make the call. you know you want to. do it! do it!

It's still true; 49 state senators is all we got for a legislative branch.

And it's dark red.

And they just lowered taxes again, for about the 12th straight year, and are now going home for the year.

As for "expropriating corporate assets," if this were to happen, which it's not likely to, Black Hills Energy would be more than adequately paid for those assets.

The big guy's trying to play on the Nebraska cultural antagonism towards private utility companies--it goes way back in our history--but given the currently low natural gas rates and that 85% of Bellevue is already served by the public gas utility from Omaha and that a city council can't do a damned thing about this state law, it's non-issue.

The big guy's not aware that he fumbled the football this morning on something else, and that franksolich recovered it; he's running around as if he still has the ball. Alas for the big guy, he doesn't.

I don't know how this works in Nebraska - but I do know how the energy utilities work here in the Commonwealth.

The rates charged to consumers are set and standardized by the state, and utility companies need to petition the state to permit any change in price. That change affects all consumers equally, regardless of distribution company or the companies that supply them.

In other words, natural gas and electricity cost the same if you are in Boston, or the Berkshires, or in Lowell or the South Coast. If you happen to have solar panels or a windmill, and generate more energy than you consume, you will get a paycheck from your distributor for exactly what it would have cost you to buy that unit of energy from them.

So, If Dawes attempted this same socialist corporate takeover event here, there would be zero net effect to the consumers.

He's got about four comments. all the socialists support this of course. None of them have said, how are you going to force a state issue from a city council post?

miskie · « **Reply #22 on:** April 11, 2012, 06:14:46 PM »

..This is going to go down as one of the most ill-advised campaigns in history....

The only thing that could make it worse is if he publicly advocates freeing cop killers.... oh wait...
