What Will Happen If 2A Passes?
Why Should We Pay for it Twice?
Under 2A, this government utility takeover would force us to pay for the same electric system TWICE. Is that a good idea?
The mayor has discussed a city-wide takeover; a county takeover; and now the whole region from Canon City and Cripple Creek to Rocky Ford. And they won’t even tell us in the ballot language what that will cost.
ANSWER: 1 BILLION DOLLARS. That’s right, the price to take over the utility is over $1 Billion.
Boulder Has WASTED
$30 Million Dollars
Boulder has proven this is a BAD IDEA! They’ve spent $30 million over 10 years and they still don’t own the utility. Let’s be clear, a Yes vote May 6th will not change your electricity on May 6th . What it will do is cost you —the taxpayers— over $3 million of taxes and fees every year now paid by Black Hills that WE will have to make up. Our city will also be in for years of legal battles over condemnation and regulation. Who do you think will pay for ALL of that?
2A Gives Politicians a Dangerous Blank Check!
There is NO PLAN to vote on it in the ballot question. By using this scheme, the mayor and city politicians can raise electric rates and issues billions of dollars of debt ALL WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL. The politicians did this by design to avoid TABOR and keep the voters from having any further say after May 6th. Voters have NO off ramp…NO out, even if we don’t like what happens. Does that sound fair?
