when they say it would cost more to drop-out, do they mean in the short term or the long term? did they look into that?
Hmm, good question. I know in the short term the City would have to either pay off the debt in full, or have to find another town to assume the debt. At least, that’s what I’ve been told.

how they can’t cut their budget. of course they can and they can cut it big time. look at what is happening with auto companies, banks, etc. President Obama needs to step in with the federal government and straighten this mess out.

I don’t care what you tell me to do to economize and save — these people running this place have never tightened their belt and to increase lobbying instead of decrease it now is not acceptable to me.

If you truly want to reduce your bills learn to weatherize and economize. It does not matter approved it 30 years ago since it is not going to change our situation now. How much is spent on lobbying is also insignificant. It takes $710 million of the $720 million budget to pay the debt, operate the plants and purchase power above what the plants generate. You can question that all you want but it still will not change it.

Former Mayor Fred Turnage signed the Articles of Incorporation, he currently serves on the ElectriCities Board of Directors and received a $1,000 a month stipe-end until this year when Knight presented a resolution to the the NCEMPA Commission.

Mr. Herrin,
I would like your thought as an editor as to SB 46 which would clog the courts with misdemeanors on bloggers who forget to say “in my opinion” or ” I think” or other disclaimers. Mike Colo with Poyner Spruill and ElectriCities “general counsel” has written comments to the press association’s attorney Hugh Stevens trying to work a deal. Why? Well, no idea why ElectriCities lobbyists and lawyers are spending OUR money on this exccept they do not like the blogging and Truth Telling. In my opinion, if something has been written that is not true or misconstrued, they have an obligation to correct it. Just like in every day situations. People gossip and exaggerate all the time. If something not right, say so. This bill puts the legal obligation on you. Perhaps you can call Mr. Stevens and ask why he is working with ElectriCities, if he is. Perhaps you can call Mike Colo and ask him how much he is billing for this and why ratepayers should pay for this in light of SERIOUS issues I assume demand attention. I also want to know whether the Board of ElectriCities or NCEMPA authorized this activity.
I will wait to hear, as will others.
Thank you, Tom Kinston, NC

Hi Tom,
We’re very much opposed to SB 46. One of the great (and sometimes, not-so-great) developments of the Web has been a free exchange of ideas with other people. Used responsibly, story commenting and blogs can bring new facts to light and offer readers enough insights to help them make informed decisions. What in the world is wrong with that?
Here’s hoping SB 46 dies a very quick death.

Art Hubert is pathetic

Sorry but this clown is pathetic. Thank goodness he is interim. He is a joke. Everyone knows Clay Norris made $250,000 to do strategic plans and he did one in 2006. What an absolute waste of time and a joke.
Pathetic

If Art Hubert thinks that Ernestherine Davis has a single brain cell to communicate with to an elected official, he should be dismissed immediately. These people are jokes, plain and simple.
Hiring Ferguson Group

It is absurd that ElectriCities is hiring a group to do two workshops on stimulus when we can get information FREE from Governor’s office and Congress Members and just did. THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY AGAIN STUPID.

She needs to be investigated by the US Attorney – her spending of our money, her comments at the power agency, her work, her personal life and loans with lobbyists. Something smells bad
Nebraska’s public power is run by honest, hard working public servants who understand how to use the public’s money wisely. i have called them for information and they are nice and honest too bad we have corruption at electricities but it is well known around the country that they are slimes. jessie tilton did that for them
