— from Glenna Hall —
As controversy swirls regarding the upcoming OPALCO Board election, I want to make my position regarding OPALCO’s role in broadband as clear as possible:
- I strongly support OPALCO playing a significant role in bringing true broadband to OPALCO members and to the larger Islands community.
- I strongly support the Co-op’s taking the time necessary to examine very carefully all aspects of that role from the standpoints of prudent fiscal policy and enhancing, not harming, island businesses.
- I personally believe that the ultimate design will go one of two ways: either OPALCO will not enter the full-fledged internet service provider business, or, if it does so, it will be as a separate entity dealing with the Co-op on the same basis as would any other member.
I love this community, and want it to move forward in the best possible way.
I ask that OPALCO members return me to the Board for another term.
Please support Glenna Hall in her run for the OPALCO board, as I do.
I know her to be honest, smart,and fair and she has worked very hard in her interim service on the board to educate herself and others about the issues OPALCO is grappling with.
