Baird, Jordan worthy of support

Electricity works when I throw the switch. I like that. The price is lower at MEA than any other co-op in Alaska. I like that too. I don't want to keep paying Chugach in Anchorage for generation; I support local generation for local control and better reliability. I like that approach.

OK, so Lee Jordan and Tom Baird support that for the MEA Board. So, I like them.

Why do Peter Burchell and Janet Kincaid want MAJOR change at MEA? They say they want us to “fire” Lee Jordan. So what is the opposite of Lee: complete dependence on Chugach for our power? Raising our electric rates? Go with the unions’ pushing for Burchell and Kincaid? I really have no idea why Peter Burchell and Janet Kincaid are so desperate to get on the MEA Board — it almost seems like it’s personal.

Being on the MEA Board is just a volunteer position to look out for MEA members, and I think the people who are screaming for change have some secret agenda. Lee Jordan and Tom Baird are independent and have no “secret” agenda.

Jordan and Baird can be trusted to just make good decisions, and I trust them with my support.
