Guess Jared was the right pick after all.
Now calling out Union Bosses for using forced union dues to hammer a primary opponent via vile 527 tactics … that would be a reason …
but I am wrong and misread the post. Apologies (but I still think Jared was the better choice).
then the opposition is strange, especially if it is coordinated across a few different categories of players, as you are saying. Mostly what I see here is two industries trying to stifle competition. Bank opposition is obvious, they don’t want to compete with CU’s. Xcel’s opposition will be to this section in the bill’s summary:
This allows a lot of new players into a market that Xcel currently has more or less cornered.
At any rate, if the opposition pressure is true and if Mary Alice is getting paid for it, then welcome to the new politics, same as the old politics.
was mainly about financing options for consumers who were installing wind and solar. This, obviously, would cut down on revenue for Xcel, and the poster is right that the banks don’t like the credit union option.
we need to bust open the market place. Xcel has been doing good work, but they effectively have a monopoly that stifles innovation and entrepreneurship. I believe their future prosperity should be bet on “managing” the infrastructure, demand side management, etc..and let the marketplace bring in the electrons from every nook and cranny in Colorado.
As far as the banks v. credit unions…I don’t believe any credit unions are in need of, or the beneficiaries of, TARP $$. Stop the whining…everybody gets a leg up somewhere, somehow, in the system.
Legislation and/or regulation that limits me is bad. That which helps me and/or hurts my competition is good.
lets keep that “free market” thing open for sure, but please just make sure the deck is stacked in my favor…
I wish them all the best on this bill. It’s ironic that two “D’s” are pushing for a more market-oriented approach that will lead to job creation, increased property values, individuals being empowered to make decisions based on market factors — while the R’s so far seem to be silent on the issue. I thought Brophy and Gardner were the party of new ideas? I’m guessing the old guard in the REA community has them muzzled.
You know Carroll and Levy are on to something really good when Xcel has to hire someone from the Dem camp to kill it.
This is a great opportunity for the Republicans to really show they mean it when they say they will support good ideas…and this bill is a great place to start.
“Carroll and Levy” by definition means “are great on …”
