Rep. Paul Workman (R – District 47), a longtime critic of Austin Energy, filed four bills – (HB1458, HB1459,HB1460, and HB1523) – last week that would target the public utility’s electric rates, downsize its service area, cap its payments to Austin’s city government, overhaul its governance, and allow commercial and industrial customers to shop for a better deal, according to a February 2 report by the Austin American-Statesman.
