BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota's attorney general plans to ask Minnesota officials to support changing a law that makes North Dakota's coal-generated electricity more expensive to sell in Minnesota.
Wayne Stenehjem said he has scheduled meetings in St. Paul today with Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota legislators.
Last month North Dakota's Industrial Commission sent a letter to Minnesota lawmakers asking for changes in a state energy law. Stenehjem is a commission member. The law orders utilities to assign higher costs to most future supplies of coal-generated electricity.
Stenehjem contends the law is unconstitutional. Minnesota state Sen. Ellen Anderson disputes that. She says it's not likely to be changed in the way Stenehjem wants.

During this bitter cold winter in northern Minnesota where many residents have electric heat and unemployment is above the national average, I would like to see state legislators explain why raising electric rates is such a good idea.
hmmm....maybe it’s time that the INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE was finally used to apply to something that is actually related to INTERSTATE COMMERCE....
TPAW went off the deep end with his green agenda..
Too bad, other than that he might of been a decent Presidential candidate.
I do credit him with holding a line on spending in MN to some extent.Without his vetoes, the DumbForLifers would have turned MN into a $10 billion deficit instead of $4 billion.
“CUT THEM OFF!

Yep, Cut them off and then do a major ad campaign explaining the root cause is in their own state.
