PACE yourself for savings on Missouri utility bills.
Even the most fervent Tea Partier would have a hard time hating a bill that the Missouri Legislature recently passed with near unanimous votes — even though it enables new local tax assessments.
If signed into law, it would bring to Missouri what's called "property assessed clean energy" — or PACE. Homeowners and businesses can achieve huge savings in utility bills if they make their homes more energy efficient. They could get the savings now and pay for the improvements over 20 years with special tax assessments.
