Membership Approves Opt Out Resolution

At the annual meeting on March 8, 2008, the Board of Directors of Big Horn REA asked the membership to vote to opt out of rate regulation by the Wyoming Public Service Commission. President Delaney stated that "A vote to opt out removes the Wyoming Public Service Commission from having jurisdiction over the members’ rates and puts the authority where it belongs – locally with your Board of Directors." The opt out vote passed 188 to 9 to allow the members’ electric rates to be determined by the elected board members rather than regulated/controlled by the Wyoming Public Service Commission. The Board of Directors wish to thank the members for their vote for local control and leadership.
