Wheeling’s position on Tri-State’s executive committee is not an asset. One does not get elected to that position by thinking outside the Tri-State box but rather by endorsing the status quo. Joe supported the purchase of an old coal mine to keep the old, coal-fired plant in Craig operating. He deemed that purchase a good investment for the future while at the same time did not support the development of solar power, calling it an expense we could not afford. That decision increased our electric bills and supported jobs in northern Colorado.

A vote for Joe Wheeling is a vote for the status quo. A vote for Alison Dance is a vote supporting the local economy and a bright future.
