Reference: Municipal Service Rate Schedule MS-l
Dear Commissioner Gunter:
I am writing regarding FPSC Order 10762 dated May 4, 1982 whereby
you are considering the elimination of the Municipal Service Rate
Schedule'(MS-1) in favor of a general service and lighting rate schedule.
On behalf of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, I would like to
register with the Public Service Commission our opposition to the
elimination of the MS-1 Rate Schedule.
Preliminary data indicates that the charge will result in an increase
in the price of electric service to our City. We can see no logical
reason to place the additional burden of increased power bills upon the
residents of our community.
We request the Public Service Commission not eliminate the Municipal
Service Rate Schedule MS-1 because it will place an unnecessary burden upon
the general public at a time when all other levels of government are
striving to give tax relief by controlling government expenditures.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS

Dear Mr. Burton:
I am writing to voice my opposition to H.R. 4929 which has recently
passed the House Education and Labor Committee.
The Public Employees Pension Plan and Accountability Act (H.R 4929) ,
flagrantly violates the principal that the Federal J. Government should
refrain from regulating what is clearly and strictly a responsibility of
state and local government.
We in local government are absolutely strangled by needless and
senseless regulations and mandates forced upon us by those who apparently
mean well but who are far removed from local issues and problems. These
unnecessary mandates and the resulting administrative law make the delivery
of programs and service to the local public all but impossible, and certainly
not very cost effective.
To support this legislation would be to turn away from the new federalism
and once again embrace the idea that the Federal Government can better manage
local problems regardless of how far removed from a problem Washington might
be. For these reasons, I would ask that you withdraw your sponsorship for this
legislation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Rozansky
City Manager
