This story says the Illinois legislature will be called back into session for one day next Tuesday, June 15. There are a couple better stories about it, but they're behind paywalls so we won't provide links. One blathered on about how they think they have enough votes in the Senate to pass the bill, however, that appears maybe sort of iffy.
Your mission... peel away at least one state Senator. Here's a list. Of course, the Senator doesn't have to vote against the energy bill, s/he just needs to remove the language that changes the definition of "public utility". It should be really easy for the Senator to find just by searching the document for the words "public utility," and even easier for the Senator to amend the bill to remove it before the vote on Tuesday.
Would the Illinois senate hold up this important energy bill to argue over whether Invenergy should be a public utility? Or will they throw Invenergy under the bus in order to pass this legislation that fixes other more important energy issues? Invenergy is an opportunistic parasite that has attached itself to fast moving and popular legislation in order to increase its corporate profits. Invenergy is not worth the sacrifice.
Here's a little background music to play while you work.
