How To Get Away With Merger (Season Preview)

Our new season of Building Local Power, How To Get Away With Merger, shatters the deceptive facade often employed by merging companies that falsely claim their consolidation will ultimately benefit consumers.

  • Infrastructure Investments Fund and El Paso Electric
