House Republicans want to keep free market in energy bill

Last year, state senators okayed a proposal they said would keep Ohio electricity bills from skyrocketing. By a vote of 32 to nothing, senators approved a bill to keep government price controls on electricity, instead of letting prices float in a free market, starting next year. Now some key leaders in the Ohio House are declaring they want to change that measure, so that the free market approach is still a big option. Some consumer advocates are worried about that.
