Can you read? I said that the Democratic Party has not involved itself in "specific PUD issues." Meaning, we have not come out in favor or against specific issues.

I never said whether we did or did not endorse Eddy for PUD Commissioner.

You seem to get crossed wires a lot.




Publicly-owned power, by the nature of its very existence, would be in competition with the private market. You can't be in favor of it but opposed to the principles upon which it exists in the first place. Talk about a schizophrenic position!

You've got your wires crossed again.

Just by endorsing Eddy the dem's are supporting his dumb & more than likely illegal actions.

The GHPUD under the direction of Eddy interfered with the free market in the Cosi Mill and chased off all the bidders and now look what we have....The mill is still not open and more than likely won't. Everything that man touches turns to crap. He needs to go.

And you're entitled to your opinion on that. Work for your candidate and I'll work for mine.

I still would love to hear you explain how Republicans support public power as long as it doesn't compete with private interests....an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Public-owned power only competes with private power at the local level. Such as when they use their government powers in an unfair way such as seizing property or forcing fair market bidding higher than a fair price public power can do this only because their resources are basically unlimited.
In the open power exchange market the playing field is even because of simple supply and demand.

On another note....Why did Eddy sell the diesel generators? They sure would have been handy during last December’s storm.

Are you under some impression that Eddy works in a vacuum and that the other two commissioners don't have a vote, and that staff recommendations aren't a part of the decision-making process?

Your public vs. private power argument makes no sense either. It's the interjection of private, for-profit power companies that drives the prices up. Have you forgotten about Enron already?

Here you go! This is one of the hottest bumper stickers in the Harbor right now.

Just one big good ole boys network.

Wow reading this was like having Eddy standing right next to me. Kinda freaky!

Congratulations on your progress on your spelling. Your grammar has gotten much better as well. And now I see you are a photoshop expert....

If your messages start becoming one-liners I am going to start to wonder about your true identity.

Yeah. Innit?
