End utility’s monopoly

Sat., May 5, 2012

On April 17, David Smith wrote that it is easy to end Avista’s monopoly (aka stranglehold) with a simple majority vote. Count me in! If someone is willing to get this on the ballot, I will volunteer to go door to door to help get the word out.

Apparently, the regulators just don’t seem to get it.

There might also be someone out there with the knowledge to organize a co-op. Either way, Avista’s monopoly needs to end soon.
