State Rep. Pauline Wendzel issued the following statement after Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Democrats’ partisan energy package that raises rates while decreasing reliability for Michigan families:

“With the stroke of her pen, Governor Whitmer has locked in a future of higher rates and less reliable service for hardworking Michigan families. Energy has never been a partisan issue in our state, but it’s been made one today. 

As this legislation is implemented and Michigan families begin to see these expensive and unreliable policies reflected in their monthly bills, House Republicans have their backs and will be fighting to ensure our constituents’ rates are affordable and their service is reliable.“
