Open Letter to MEA membership, by Joe Griffith, current General Manager at MEA, 2/5/11, Frontiersman
Joe's letter was in response to one by Aaron Downing, a former MEA director hoping to get back in with his buddy to Carmony, the former MEA GM who made those contracts.
MEA Terminations Prove Costly, by Aaron Downing, 2/1/11, Frontiersman
What do those former MEA people want back so badly? Rumor has it they have been meeting with our new borough mayor. With two coal strip mines proposed, my guess is they want to line their pockets with coal.
Rumor has it that with Joe Griffith in the lead, there is money for better safety measures for line workers, like snowmachines that will make it out to where they need to go without breaking down. The others were decades old. These tough men & women were keeping the lines working in all temperatures, year round, covering a range of thousands of square miles stretching across the Borough and even to Eagle River. Rumor has it, the employees are now able to breathe and do a great job without fear now that the corruption is gone, and the public meetings are open and transparent.
Thank you to the 55,000 Cooperative Members who voted this MEA board in. Don't sit back, come out and vote this year too. See you in April!
