Live from the AR State Capitol: How SB307 Will Raise Utilities Rates and Little Rock Freedom Fund's Dawn Jeffrey Talks About Community Engagement
from The Folding Chair with Osyrus Bolly · host The Folding Chair
On this episode of The Folding Chair podcast we have another BAD BILL ALERT, Dawn Jeffrey joins us as we discuss SB307 the “Generating Arkansas Jobs Act”. This bill is a giveaway to power companies on the backs of poor and working Arkansans who already struggle to pay their energy bills. The legislation in SB307 proposes allowing utility providers to fund their projects by collecting interest from the customers on construction of these projects prior to the project being complete by raising rates on their monthly bills. We also discuss the work of the Little Rock Freedom Fund and the various ways the organization uses community engagement and participatory action research to serve Arkansas.
