As a member owned rural co-op, quite different from a for profit corporation/utility (because this area was all ag at one time), I am surprised this was not mentioned at all at the last membership and election meeting, unless it was VERY quickly proposed the one time during the meeting I did leave to go to ....the restroom for a few minutes ! They usually do a great job of taking member input and discussion. Just surprised it was not even brought up by any members ?
