July 22 - Board meeting report

The fix is in:
It was revealed today how the only two candidates will be taking their seats at the board table.

They are, Don Wolberg, who got only 6 votes the last time he ran for trustee and Leroy Anaya who also lost with only 46 votes in 2013. The election is August 22nd. If there is a quorum, they win even if they got 1 vote each. There is no option for a "no" vote for either candidate.

If there is no quorum, they will be appointed by the board to take their seat at the table. Members lose again.

A reminder to those who voted for the new by-laws, you always get what you voted for. Please don't embarrass yourself by attending that meeting. Send a message by not going and they will fail to get a quorum. Mail-in ballots will be sent out. Don't return them, or return them without voting.  Prediction: Don Wolberg will be the next board president.

Discussion about Resignation.mp4
- Presidents report and committee assignments.mp4
-
Discussion on the Socorro power generation issue.mp4
Note: it took MEMBER concern to bring this issue to the board table, otherwise the board has been completely ignoring the fact the co-op is in serious trouble and on its death bed.
-
Report on SW energy conference.mp4
See SW conference video. Note, according to Wolberg, a shill for the coal industry, it cost $490 to power that 100watt bulb with solar.
Thats cheap. Most of the coal plants have a capital investment of BILLIONS over DECADES before they can power that first 100 watt bulb (and require rail, and mines, and distribution network, etc)... Go Solar!
