Remember that bill to allow electric companies to cut down any tree within 20 feet of a power line?
That was on top of Franks’ voting for the so-called “Smart Grid” bill, which really was a rate hike end run around the Illinois Commerce Commission.
You can bet electric companies ComEd and Ameren were happy.
Now, contributions from Commonwealth Edison might raise some constituents’ eyebrows, but a check from Ameren?
What’s Ameren?
A patriotic political group?
