— from Chom Graecen —

Come hear candidates running for two open positions from Orcas on the OPALCO board of directors.

LOPEZ: Tuesday April 7th, 5 p.m. – 6.30 p.m. at Lopez Library
ORCAS: Thursday April 9th, 7p.m. – 9 p.m. at Orcas Library

Candidates Randy Cornelius (recently retired General Manager of OPALCO) and Ed Sutton (chosen by OPALCO search committee) are running against the two incumbents, Winnie Adams and Chris Thomerson.

The forums are sponsored by the Islands Energy Coalition (IEC). The IEC is a group of islanders who meet periodically to discuss energy issues and share information regarding our involvements with local to global energy issues.

This is an excellent opportunity for members-owners to ask questions and help shape OPALCO’s direction regarding rate increases, broadband policy and more.

Ballots will be mailed out April 8, and voting closes on May 2. (Editor’s note: see correction in comments below)
