Another day, another bill punishing businesses for... you guessed it, trying to protect their interests. What’s next, outlawing a handshake?

Why punish utilities for participating in democracy just because it costs a few bucks? Political speech isn’t supposed to be free, but it sure shouldn’t be outlawed.

No more fat-cat utilities sneaking political bribes into our electricity bills. Power to the people, not the profiteers!

Putting a check on utility expenses sounds fair; nobody should pay for corporate lobbying masquerading as service fees.

Government telling companies they can’t recoup costs? Great, because stifling business is always the fastest way to lower costs and boost freedom—said no one ever.

If utilities want to play politics, they can use their own pockets—not ours. This is how democracy plugs the leak in corporate influence.

Finally, a bill that stops utilities from passing their shady lobbying bills straight to us—about time someone held them accountable.

I don’t love all regulations, but making utilities own their political spending instead of billing customers? That’s common sense.

Cutting the strings between utilities’ political games and our electric bills? I’ll call that a smart move—accountability’s good for everyone.
