📰 News we're reading

• Levels of transparency vary widely for utility co-ops like PenLight (gigharbornow.org) — Ames Lake residents are served by Tanner Electric Cooperative, which the story highlights as comparatively transparent because it posts meeting agendas, minutes, and fuel-mix information online. The article contrasts that openness with Peninsula Light in Gig Harbor, where limited public access to board meetings and questions over board accountability have sparked local calls for more transparency in member-owned utilities.
