As Pennsylvania legislators consider ways to fund the Three Mile Island cleanup, critics are watching to see if they will also rescind the portion of the gross receipts tax bonus that amounts to a windfall and whether they will review the recent refusal to defer Metropolitan Edison Company's tax payment. No plan to aid the utility has come from the governor in spite of his announced intention of avoiding bankruptacy if it is legally possible. The legislature is expected to ask for Federal assistance. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission could take several actions to mitigate the financial problem, but there is disagreement over the extent of Federal and state responsibility in setting rates for public utilities.
