How I Can Help Impliment Measure "I" and bring public power to San Francisco and Brisbane

The current system of deregulation and private ownership of utilities is broken. We cannot allow skyrocketing prices and rolling blackout to endanger the health and safety of city residents and businesses. Let's end the outrageous disruption caused by market manipulation of power.

Over the last century, 2009 U.S. cities, including Sacramento, Los Angeles, Palo alto, and Alameda, have switched to public power. On average, municipal ratepayers spend 18% less for energy. Residents receive good reliable services. Local government decides where and what kind of power plants are built. Crucial policies aimed at conservation and development of renewable energy sources supersede short term profits for stockholders.

I support public power. As director of the MUD, I will:

.Promote efficient establishment of public power
.Foster professional teamwork without politiciation
of the process
.Ensure a reliable energy supply at reasonable rates
.Make conservation and renewable energy (i.e.solar,
wind,geothermal,biomass) top priority.
