If you have electricity in Curry County, then you most likely are a member of the Coos Curry Electric CO-OP (CCEC).
The members of CCEC elect a Board of Directors to manage the business of CCEC only. The members of CCEC own CCEC not the Board of Directors.
However, the current Board majority has hijacked our CO-OP. This Board majority denies CCEC members from attending the monthly Board meetings where decisions are made. Past Boards allowed member's oversight at these Board meetings. You can find that truth out for yourself by trying to go to an actual Board meeting where decisions are made; you can't.
Why has this Board majority been allowed to hijack the CO-OP? It is because most of the members do not participate. This Board majority keeps getting elected by a very small group of CCEC members. There are over 14,000 members of CCEC yet in our Board elections less than 2,000 actually vote. At the yearly annual members' meeting last year less than 100 members attended.
Since members can't go to Board meetings where decisions are made, members have no oversight. Right now, this Board majority is putting our CO-OP into 10's of millions of dollars in debt. Where does all of this money go? Is it for high salaries, sweetheart deals to subcontractors, etc.? When one of the Board members who was not a part of this majority spoke out about how things were looking fishy, she then was stripped of all of her committees to keep her out of the loop. What are they hiding?
If you want transparency, then Vote for a Change. Vote for Sue Gold and Gayle Wilcox.
