These Are
The Facts...
—about Senate Bill No. 30, to "redefine
rural areas", in the General Assembly . . .
The bill simply gives Georgia s Rural Electrics the
right to continue serving their own customers who
happen to live in areas which are annexed to cities,
and to serve such new customers who build on the
lines in these annexed areas and request service, and
firovides that Rural Electric service within such city
imits shall be only in annexed areas, where lines
presently exist.
The bill does not authorize the Rural Electrics to take
customers from any city or power utility. It does not
seek to penalize or interfere with existing power
supply of cities and towns.
... and the reasons we
urge its passage.
We now have 38,904 "idle services", representing
almost $8,000,000 in services built to serve customers
no longer there ... We must preserve our existing in
vestment, and we seek only to keep what we have
bought and paid for (with money borrowed from
the ReA, which we are paying back with interest).
We built our lines under a law offering the same
opportunity to any qualified borrower. No one else
would undertake the job. We were asked to bring
service to the areas near the cities, and by so doing
furthered their growth and progress, making them
attractive for city limits expansion.
The Rural Electrics of Georgia stand ready to meet the
tame franchise tax payment arrangements covering the
customers it serves who become city residents as those in
effect between the cities and other power supplies.
NOW, OUR POSITION IS CLEAR...WE MERELY
WISH TO BE ALLOWED TO KEEP WHAT WE HAVE
WORKED LONG AND HARD TO 8U1LD....
