Democrat Benson Proposes Plan to Address Rising Electricity Bills in Michigan Governor's Race
Jocelyn Benson, a Democratic candidate in the Michigan governor's race, has proposed a comprehensive plan to address rising electricity bills. Her plan includes measures to modernize the state's electric grid, restrict political contributions from utilities, and protect residents from unfair electricity shutoffs. Benson aims to compel utilities to invest more in grid upgrades and ensure that corporations, rather than ratepayers, bear the costs of increased energy demands. Her proposal comes amid growing concerns over the affordability of electricity and the reliability of the power grid in Michigan.
