Liberty Twp. Tea Party members share frustration with IRS scandal

LIBERTY TWP.

Members of the Liberty Twp. Tea Party organization say they are beyond frustrated with the Internal Revenue Services handling of their tax-exempt status request.

Nine Tea Party organizations, including the Liberty Twp. group, are still awaiting a response from the IRS, according to Gene Kapp, a spokesman for the American Center for Law and Justice.

Congress and the Justice Department are investigating whether the IRS improperly scrutinized applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups during the 2010 and 2012 elections. A federal judge has allowed a lawsuit by 10 tea party groups to move forward against the IRS, rejecting a request by the federal government to dismiss all the allegations that the agency subjected conservative groups to additional, often burdensome scrutiny.

Whether that lawsuit will be continued or dismissed will be known any day now, Kapp said.

The U.S. government filed a motion to dismiss our lawsuit some time ago, he said. We, of course, filed our response opposing the motion to dismiss. We expect a decision by a federal judge any day now regarding that motion.

Liberty Twp. Tea Party applied for tax-exempt status in January 2011.

I have moved beyond frustration with governments inability to process paper work in a timely manner, said Susan McLaughlin, a member of the Liberty Twp. Tea Party. I have lost any trust or expectation of fairness in the federal government. My naivet in believing the government would follow their own rules has been replaced with anger and suspicion.

Katy Kern is more to the point saying how the group feels: I dont think we are frustrated, I think we are pissed off.

We refuse to back down or be intimidated, Kern said. Somebody has to stand up to the bullies and we are glad that there are 8 other tea parties w the stones to do it.

Tea party official rips We Energies' plan to alter solar charges

Solar advocates have enlisted conservatives in their bid to challenge proposals by We Energies and other state utilities that they say would restrict renewable energy development in Wisconsin.

Debbie Dooley is visiting Wisconsin this week in a trip sponsored by the Wisconsin Solar Electric Industries Association. She's a tea party activist from Georgia who sees energy freedom as something around which conservatives should rally.

"This is a referendum on free market conservatism," she said in an interview. "If you're a free-market conservative, you don't protect monopolies from competition, because the free market is all about competition."

Dooley, national coordinator with the Tea Party Patriots, became involved in energy issues while fighting plans by Georgia's main utility, Southern Co., to charge ratepayers for cost overruns it experienced while building new nuclear reactors. She became irked that utilities' profits rose even as construction costs increased from building big projects like massive power plants.

But a prominent group that supports Republicans in Wisconsin, Americans for Prosperity's Wisconsin chapter, this week came out in support of the utilities' rate plans.

"All should pay for their fair share of the electric grid," the group's state director, David Fladeboe, said in a memorandum. "As an organization dedicated to promoting and protecting free markets, Americans for Prosperity believes that individuals should have the ability to make decisions about their own property and energy systems but they should not expect others to pay for their choices.

"Yet, this type of cost shifting is exactly what some solar energy advocates are calling for with renewable policies such as net-metering. Some solar advocates are even suggesting that conservatives should support this kind of robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul scheme. That kind of thinking should be rejected by anyone committed to free market principles."

We Energies said it's working in the interests of Wisconsin customers and against out-of-state solar companies. In a recent letter to lawmakers, Wisconsin Energy executive Bert Garvin said the utility's plan to end subsidies for customers that generate their own power is in the best interest of the state.

"Wisconsinites deserve an energy policy that is fair and makes sound economic sense for all customers," he wrote.

The changes the utility is seeking before the state Public Service Commission would tack on a new charge for solar-generating customers, pay them less for the energy they produce and ban companies like Sunvest Solar in Milwaukee or national solar companies from owning the panels on customers' roofs.
