BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards wants the recent congressional tax overhaul to drive down utility rates for Louisiana consumers.
The Democratic governor sent a letter to the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the state’s utility regulators, citing the new cut to federal corporate income tax rates.
Federal income tax rates are a consideration in calculating what utilities charge customers. Edwards says a 14 percent cut to tax rates businesses pay should force a lowering of the rates Louisiana residents are charged for utilities.
Commission spokesman Colby Cook said Thursday that the five-member elected commission already is looking at the issue.
At the board’s December meeting, Cook says, Commission Chairman Eric Skrmetta directed utility companies to report back in February about possible savings for ratepayers tied to the new federal tax laws.

How? If your bill is determined in part by your tax rate, why should you still pay higher if you tax rate goes down?
Maybe I'm missing something.

go learn you some EBITDA then it might make more sense on why a rate decrease is a reasonable request.

Charlie Munger famously said, "Every time you see the word 'EBITDA', you should substitute the word 'bullshite'." This is pretty funny even coming from a guy who looks like Mason Verger.

If you only use EBITDA, sure. We used it in conjunction with profit margins, COGS, shrink, etc etc etc to get the full picture of how a store is performing. And it was part of the bonus structure

Lol.
He's demanding something that the commission has already enacted and was going to enact anyway with or without his input.
He's a preening clown.

The governor did a noble thing. Don’t fight it. Your partisanship is showing.

Exactly, decrease utilities so I can increase your income taxes. Typical Democrat
