Submitted 3/29 for publication on 4/3
The March 27, “My Turn” column, submitted by PUB Chairman Oscar E. Garcia, at first seemed to be an around the corner jab at the recent PUB Board appointees; instructing that they should be nice little boys and keep the dirty laundry in-house. But when I looked closer, I noticed what would appear to be a major change in policy and some outright self serving spin.
In the second paragraph, Mr. Garcia points out the common purpose – “to provide customer/owners with reliable utility services at the lowest reasonable rates consistent with good sound business practices.” If this is true it is a change from the previous position of reliable utilities at competitive rates. There is a big difference!
The piece then goes on ad-nauseum lecturing as to the responsibilities of the trustees. I didn’t see, what, to me, is one of the primary responsibilities until paragraph seven, and it seems to be down played “ The board member also serves as a representative of the BPUB customers. Members represent the owners of the utility and act on their behalf to protect and maximize the value of the asset.” More »
