We are questioning the Coop’s ability to bring the broadband project to fruition without raising the electric rates, which are already some of the highest in the nation, and you can correct me if that’s wrong. Last winter, when our entire first floor was damaged by a flood, our electric rates skyrocketed because the demolition crew needed to use fans and the electric heat. We understood the necessity for all that...after all, it was abnormally high usage, but the electric bill for one month was $ ONE THOUSAND-NINETY-TWO DOLLARS and some odd cents! That was almost unbelievable! Ours is not a large house by any means, and we were floored by the amount. So was Allstate.
We want to be fair, but we have reason to submit a NO vote on the broadband project.
