A day of learning

" The more you learn, the deeper you delve into a new endeavor, the more successful you will be"

Today I met with PUD Commissioner Barney Burke.  He took time from his busy schedule to share with me some of his knowledge and experience in the area of running a PUD.  He covered areas from current project and  regulations to accomplishments made and problems yet to be resolved.  From this visit, I could see how passionate he is about public power and keeping control of our utilities in the hands of their owners, the citizens of our District. Over coffee, he suggested that I attend the Local 2020 meeting later in the afternoon.

The individuals the 2020 meeting were very knowledgeable and dedicated to making our county a better place in which to live, for everyone.  The areas of conversation and planned action ranged from conservation and alternative energy generation to economic development.  Watching this group in action strengthened my belief that this is the a great place to live, populated with highly motivated and energetic people.  Here is their current, soon to be updated, site address:    https://l2020.org/Home

I learned a great deal today, but have yet to learn so much more.

Have a great evening!
Tony

Remember, regular PUD Board meeting, Tuesday, June 3,  5 PM,  at the PUD office, 230 Chimacum Road
