| | Rehberg (MT00) - Press Release - Rehberg Secures Victory on Proposed Rural Electric Budget Provisions |
 | | The budget resolution, to be approved this afternoon in the House, declares “the President's proposal to require Power Marketing Administrations to charge market rates” vs. cost would not save the government money. |
 | | The proposal, found in the President’s 2006 budget, would have required the nation’s four Power Marketing Administrations (PMA) to sell their electricity at market-based, instead of cost-based, rates. |
 | | “Also, this year, the Budget Committee is leaving most of the specifics of the federal budget to the Appropriations Committee, which is one of the reasons I fought to be on appropriations,” Rehberg added. |
