Earlier this week, the House passed legislation requiring electric utilities to establish separate, higher rates for commercial facilities that use large amounts of energy.

Rather, this is the latest example of how our state legislative process often runs off the rails due entirely to partisan considerations unrelated to the issues under debate.

Watch the two-minute video here.
