JCI a target of Duluth’s legislative agenda

I’m in Florida for a few days visiting family. My head has been elsewhere so I’ve missed a few chances to harp on my favorite old gripes.

I can’t find the news story on the DNT site that caught my eye a week ago or so. If I found it I’d probably have to pay for it but it includes a reference to this story about a pending settlement on JCI’s ripoff of the City over its retrofitting of the Steam Plant. Now the City has a legislative proposal to curb JCI and others when they promise energy savings that don’t materialize.

My guess is that JCI’s unpopularity gives the City some small leverage over JCI and they got something out of the company over the steam plant which was made possible because JCI doesn’t need any more light shined on it while the Red Plan proceeds.
