But Detroit Councilmember Maryann Mahaffey
blistered the utility because "people who do not pay
their bills on time are characterized as GORMAN'S
deadbeats. . . This assumes people of the lower
class are more dishonest than the middle and up-
perclasses. They are not unwilling to pay, but un
able. Why are all their proposalapunitive?"
DESIGNERS
THE PROPOSALS she referred to are in a book
called* the "Energy Assurance'Plan." Co-authors
are the PSC staff; MlchCon, which serves Detroit
and some suburbs, such as Redford Township; Con
sumers Power Co., which serves other suburbs and
most major outstate cities; and DetroitEdisonCo. CAN HELP YOU
The three-member PSC and the Michigan Legis
lature will decide the fate of the proposals.
The heart of the Issue, according to the blue book,
Is this: "Increased energy bills and a depressed
economy have created utility uncollectlbles which ADD STYLE TO YOUR
approach $60 million annually and theft of energy
which may now exceed $20 million this year."
The costs are passed on to other customers as
higher rates. They are also picked up, In a growing
dollar volume, by state government's beating aid
allotments to the poor.
- The blue book distinguishes between "customers
who cannot pay" and customers who can pay, but
don't." \ V y" J KJ <t i -

said, so that those amounts could be lumped into
another year's bad debts. The purpose, he said, was
to inflate the loss in order to make a case for a rate
increase.
The state attempted to assist welfare recipients "S*1
with heating -aid, but "many neglected to pay their
heating bills, even though they had the money," The
result was that the state paid the bills directly and,
in effect, "paid twice for the same item.*

MichCon'8 Glancy said was aimed, at baiting "cus y

rule would allow responsibility for utility bills to be
shared by "all adult members of a household who ^

derive use and benefit from utility service."
Hodges E. Mason, president of the Chalfonte
Community Council and chair of a local Democrat

the bill. Any adult living In a house will be in a
