Page 1 of 1 <br />Power cartoon didn't connect ;~~~ <br />Friday, 11 September 2009 <br />Your cartoon on the Sept. 5 editorial page referenced the Citizen's League meeting I spoke at last week concerning future <br />challenges for our public utilities. Your black cartoon then said "but we appear to have lost power." <br />I can take a joke as well as the next person, but power reliability is not a laughing matter. Elk River Municipal Utilities takes its <br />responsibility to have as few outages as possible very seriously. In fact, if you check the records you will see that ERMU is one of <br />the most reliable power companies in the area. That reliability is one reason we now have two data centers that add <br />tremendously to the local economy. <br />I think your cartoonist could find better things to poke fun at. Your cartoon did not amuse those of us associated with Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities whose job is to provide reliable power at reasonable rates to the consumers of our area. -John Dietz, Elk <br />River (Editor's note: Dietz is the president of the Elk River Utilities Commission.) <br />Social Bookmarking .... <br />Close Window <br /> <br />http://erstarnews.com/index2.php?option=com content&task=view&id=9271&pop=1&pa... 9/15/2009 <br />
