FH Grange to sponsor OPALCO candidate forum

Mark your calendar, jot down time. At least three of the four candidates vying for two spots on the OPALCO board of directors will attend an open forum at the American Legion in Friday Harbor, Saturday, April 11.

Here’s your chance to question the candidates about rates, revenue, loans, submarine cables, fiber-optics, facility charges, broadband, bylaw amendments… or, whatever else might come to mind.

At least three of the four candidates vying for two spots on the board of directors of Orcas Power & Light Cooperative will attend an open public forum and Q & A in Friday Harbor Saturday, April 18.

Sponsored by Friday Harbor Grange No. 225, the forum gets under at 2:30 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room of American Legion Post 163, 110 First Street.

According to Minnie Knych of the Grange, Winnie Adams, Chris Thomerson and Ed Sutton have each confirmed that they will be at the forum.
