About to kick off a press event with AARP Illinois and @cubillinois.bsky.social - and then will deliver almost 40,000 public comments to the Illinois Commerce Commission asking them to limit Nicor’s 5th rate hike since 2017.

Happy Sun Day!

Good to be with lots of partners and neighbors at the Chicago Sun Day event.

We’re out building support for instant solar permitting, and opposition to wasteful gas utility spending and rate hikes.

Energized to be with a great group of students at Loyola on a beautiful evening getting involved with our campaign for Safer, Cleaner Energy.

Congrats to my colleagues at PennPIRG and PennEnvironment, and to our counsel, coaltion partners, and allied parties for reaching a proposed settlement with Philly Gas Works that limits the rate hike and drops the proposed revenue guaruntee.

Onwards in our campaign for Safer, Cleaner Energy

It’s good Illinois doesn’t face any challenging budget conditions. We can afford to throw money at data centers in order to raise utility bills, threaten grid reliability, and prop up polluting power plants. @goodjobsfirst.org
