Second, since LPEA’s profit margin is up and at the maximum allowable level, progressive board members promoted a compromise bill keeping rates lower. Unfortunately, this bill was voted down by the conservative members of the board, once again contributing to the partisan division on the board contrary to members’ interests.

For these reasons incumbent LPEA board member Jack Turner has consistently opposed unneeded rate increases. Please vote for Jack Turner in District 4 standing up for every coop member.
