Unlike the county commissioner race, where you can vote for two (Marsha Porter-Norton and Matt Salka are my picks), you can only vote in your district for LPEA.

As incumbents, Rachel Landis and Guinn Unger have worked tirelessly to, at a minimum, move Tri-State to a negotiating position. Recently, Delta Montrose co-op negotiated such a buyout and is now free to produce and purchase clean renewable energy.

I feel that LPEA should continue at least looking into this. If nothing else, these negotiations are bringing Tri-State to the table.

Please vote for one of these two if you can. Our planet thanks you.
