In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

  • November 2015 Virginia General Assembly Election Update
    November 2015 Virginia General Assembly Election Update Prepared by: Williams Mullen Government Relations 2015 Virginia Elections A Statewide Overview On Tuesday, November 3rd , Virginians elected individuals to fill all 140 seats in the Virginia General Assembly. Historically, Virginia has had a limited change in the members of General Assembly as a result of Virginia’s off year election cycle, but partisan redistricting in 2014, a shift in demographics in parts of the state and the retirement of many long serving incumbents, especially in the Senate, created more competitive races in 2015. In the end, despite the spending tens of millions of dollars, Republicans maintained control of the House of Delegates and the Senate, perpetuating the partisan split between the Executive and Legislative branches of government. The House of Delegates Because of their overwhelming existing majority (67 Republican – 33 Democrats), there was no doubt that the Republicans would maintain control of the House of Delegates. Of the 100 seats in the House, there were only eleven seats in which an incumbent was not seeking re-election and in six of those eleven, just a single candidate was running, thus guaranteeing their election. Partisan control of the redistricting process results in the drawing of districts that generally favor most incumbents. Republican control of the last redistricting effort particularly protected Republican incumbents. Democrats won four of the six open seats which were previously held by a Democrat (Delegates Surovell, Krupicka, Preston and Joannou). The two uncontested open seats, previously held by Republicans (Delegates Mark Berg and Ed Scott), were retained by Republicans. Chris Collins, who defeated Delegate Mark Berg in a primary election, will represent House District 29 in the Winchester area and Nick Freitas will succeed Delegate Ed Scott, who did not seek re-election, to represent Culpeper and Orange and Madison counties.
