Patrick: Abbott Should Take Executive Action On Electricity Overcharges

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Gov. Greg Abbott should take executive action to reverse massive overcharges for wholesale electricity during the winter storm. The state Senate swiftly passed a bill on Monday to require the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to reverse more than four-billion-dollars in charges to utilities statewide. But the state House took no action on the proposal beyond referring it to a committee on Thursday. The House then adjourned till Monday.
