The City/Town of supports the effort of the Montana
Public Power Authority to acquire the transmission and distribution assets of
the NorthWestern Corporation in Montana. We believe that Montana
ownership is important to the economic future of our state. We also agree
with the stated objectives of the Authority to provide fair prices and reliable
service to gas and electric customers while keeping jobs where they are right
here in Montana.
We appreciate the opportunity that will be afforded to all local governments
to participate in the election of additional members of the Board of Directors
if the Authority is successful in acquiring the utility system. It is important
that customers across the state have a voice in the operation of the public
utility, and we submit this letter to indicate our interest in executing an
interlocal agreement and becoming members of the Authority at the time the
Board of Directors is expanded.
Please advise us of the progress that is being made toward the goal of
Montana ownership of the utility system. This is important work and the
City/Town of
Best wishes for success,
Mayor
wants to be involved.
