Blackburn Statement on TVA Rate Hike
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN-7) again urged Speaker Pelosi to call the House into session immediately to address the nation’s energy crisis. Blackburn was spurred by the latest announcement from the Tennessee Valley Authority that they will increase their rates by 20% effective October 1. The TVA cites the rising cost of fuel, especially coal and natural gas, as the source of the increase. MORE
