To the editor:

Dave Mackenzie and Sally Adams are right on with their paid advertisement regarding the huge movement by a few aggressive folks who would like to change us to “Island Power.”

I have lived most of my life on Bainbridge Island and I would like you to know that what all the Island Power promoters say is not true. They are extremely aggressive. I have experienced it first hand.

Aside from that, I know folks who live in Jefferson County. What they tell me and what Island Power says are two different things. Island Power says they would be more efficient whereas those who live in Jefferson County say quite the opposite. In addition, sometimes the Jefferson County folks wait for weeks and weeks after a storm for repairs which includes lines down on roads.

Do you really think they can provide equal or better service than we receive from PSE?

Do you really think Island Power would cost less or even the same to start up a new and efficient company?

Please think twice about having another (in all probability) huge tax increase to support such an adventure.

Is this what we want — more taxes and poor service?
