OPINION: 'Climate change is the urgent issue of our time. Because our city leaders have failed to adequately address it in the TEP franchise agreement, I implore all Tucsonans to join me in voting NO on Prop 412,' writes Tucsonan…
Combating climate change and its potentially devastating impacts is the seminal issue of our time, especially here in the Old Pueblo. While ensuring Tucson remains a habitable place will take all of us, elected officials and partnering organizations in our community must provide leadership in solving this existential threat.
People are also reading… We are being “nickel and dimed” in the name of climate change, and the Mayor and City Council keep reaching into our pocketbooks as a matter of course. Prop 412 offers only meager contributions to combating climate change through the establishment of a new “Community Resiliency Fee.” This fee is not paid by TEP shareholders, but by everyday Tucsonans in the form of a 0.75% monthly bill increase. This increase comes at a time when TEP is seeking a $14 a month permanent rate hike from the Arizona Corporation Commission and a temporary rate increase for one year to compensate the company for high methane gas costs.
