The Public Utilities Commission has released its Staff Report on Duke's proposed Streetcar Rate Increase.
The PUCO staff does not support the "Facilities Relocation - Mass Transportation Rider" as it is called in PUCO parlance. You can read the document for yourself below. The Streetcar Rate increase begins at page 32 of the pdf (21 of the document).

This should be a nice companion article for the Horstman-Cranley hit piece. Now that Duke has new leadership, and has basically been issued a smack-down (by Ohio's Republican Machine, no less), they might put the childish feet-dragging behind them.
