Interview with City Commissioner

All right, finally, the hot button issue of the election seems like whether the city of Pittsburgh should essentially go into the electricity business Try it self away from Evergie now in the the merch company of Western KC PNL It appears that those who are elected during this city commission have a significant voice in the future of how Pittsburgh residents receive their electricity So what are your thoughts and whether the city should play a role as a electricity provider? Well, you know, this is something that I knew was brewing just as a citizen before I even jumped on the commission And this is something that right off the bat was one of the first things that I've had the opportunity to vote on For me personally some boxes need to be checked Before I would move forward with something like this and you know, that would involve like reduced rates Affordability of the acquisition itself how we would regulate it, you know, kind of a comprehensive plan for outages and You know, just making sure that it's it's reliable and safe. This is a big venture And I think that it's it's going to be not only financially, but but such a big thing for the city that I've said before even if all those boxes are checked And even after I've sat down with the city and I planned out to sit down with Evergie as well

You know, ultimately I would support Taking this to the people and letting the citizens decide Whether or not this is something they want for their community Dan McDanieli. Thank you for some of your time this morning. Hey, thanks so much for having me. Appreciate it. Thank you
