Consumers made $7B & they are suing!@# Katherine Dwyer posted a month ago

In the Michigan Tax Tribunal, Consumers is suing numerous taxing entities in Tuscola County as part of a wider effort to win back $8.5 million in taxes paid on its wind farms. The utility, which made $7 billion last year, says it has a duty to pursue the money for the benefit of ratepayers. The fight has been waging for years in some form between renewable energy companies and local governments in four counties. But whereas DTE Energy and other companies settled this year for amounts that don’t threaten local budgets, Consumers is pressing forward. Beyond schools, the case threatens to yank money from townships, libraries, the sheriff’s office and Tuscola County programs which fund veterans services and senior meals. “This is a bunch of bull** if you ask me,” said Steve Linzer, supervisor in Akron Township, which is also being sued by Consumers for about $1.2 million.
