In the face of potential savings by Sherwood accounts of $2.1mil/year at a minimum a potential $25k special election cost is not worthy as an argument point against.

Sherwood voters will get to ...

Vote FOR the ordinance in order for NLR customers to pay 15% more for electricity in order them and them alone to fund the Sherwood $470k kickback for 20 years ...

or

Vote AGAINST the ordinance to have a chance of NLR customers paying 15% less ... saving about $300/year for the average customer or $2.1mil for the Sherwood community every year amounting to $42mil over the 20 years.

The only ones who think NLR has the lowest rates are those who live in NLR and have drunk the Koolaid.

I also don't see the Tea Party pushing to have TVA sold to a private business with the proceeds to be used against the national debt. The fact that the local bills would go up 30-40% for the same service might have something to do with this ignoring of a "socialized" operation serving mostly bright red states.

Also, why are we paying to have the Mississippi River dredged so a private company can make a profit on their barge operation? Why are we paying to update the locks on this river also? Hell, we paid to build them for industry, you would think they couild pay to keep them up.

Notice the difference where you hear the Tea Party making their usual noise-its okay for private business be be "socialized" but not private individuals. Don't they realize that people are corporations too! Jake can quote the mathematical law represented in that sentence.

You folks got a fairy godmother or something?
