Lowry Dear Monticello Citizen: The electrical issue in Monticello seems to have the town upside down. The public meetings last week were very emotional with many questions and concerns being expressed. Whether the electrical system remains with Empire Electric or the City purchases the system, I feel a commitment to the citizens of Monticello to serve them to the best of my ability. To this end I have not only asked the questions but have tried to find the answers, I have researched other communities, talked to legislative representatives, legal council, Empire Electric representatives, and many others. I have spent not only my time but personal expenses to serve you and want to share this information witn you. I invite you to come meet with me at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 15 at the Monticello High School Auditorium. Together lets put Monticello right side up. Sincerely, souls of those people in agencies, committees, museums and collections. We ask that you touch their hearts and souls, and that way give them the knowledge that they are being . disrespectful and not in harmony. We ask that you touch their hearts & souls and give them new knowledge that comes from their heart & souls and touches their minds. ANNA ADAIR Evn FDKs ? '.V |
