Oregon Senator Ron Wyden pressed Energy Secretary Rick Perry on the Trump Administration’s latest proposal to sell the Bonneville Power Administration and its assets.  In an exchange during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing, Wyden called privatizing Bonneville “garden variety robbery for families in the Northwest” and Perry said he expects it to end up with the same result as previous proposals, with Congress removing it from the budget.  This is third time the Trump Administration has proposed privatizing the BPA, the Southwestern Power Administration in Oklahoma, the Western Area Power Administration in Colorado, and the Tennessee Valley Authority.  Previous attempts have been met by a strong opposition in Congress on both sides of the aisle.
