And if we don’t act fast, Washington Gas customers will be next. Since BGE launched its multi-billion dollar “Operation Pipeline,” gas delivery rates have tripled, along with BGE profits, because the program lacks cost controls and doesn’t properly prioritize safety. Washington Gas has recently launched a similar program. Please tell your state legislators to support the Ratepayer Protection Act to ensure gas utilities prioritize safety while limiting impacts to customer bills. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-the-ratepayer-protection-act
