LP Gas Hall of Fame Inductee – Class of 2015
Miller, who is unafraid to take on political issues that impact the propane industry, played an instrumental role in the grassroots effort to create PERC.
Miller owns Miller’s Bottled Gas in Bowling Green, Ky., and has lobbied at both the national and state levels for decades. He also rallied support across the industry for PERC when few people thought the formation of such an organization was feasible. Miller served as PERC’s founding vice chairman and later pressed the state of Kentucky to pass legislation founding the Kentucky PERC.
Miller’s work as an industry lobbyist began with his effort to repeal mandatory price controls with Pargas’ Bill Hill. Miller later pressured Kentucky’s state legislature to exempt propane motor fuel from road taxes, and he fought against government-subsidized rural electric cooperatives from entering the propane industry.
His leadership at the state level on that matter resulted in a Kentucky Supreme Court decision against rural electric co-ops.
