The N.C. Eastern Municipal Power Agency board of directors approved a 14 percent rate increase for its member cities last week, but another action by the board might have a greater impact on Wilson and other cities that sell electricity bought from ElectriCities. The board voted to eliminate a $1,000 monthly stipend for eastern North Carolina members of the ElectriCities board, which will save about $90,000 next year.Who would have thought that ElectriCities would be paying board members, who are . . .

I totally agree. Again this was something that was set up by the good ole boys. Hell with a $1,000 monthly income they could pay their utitlity bills with no problem and probably had some left over to pay other things. Damn so their real job (pay check) could be deposited in the bank.
And then folks be talking about welfare. Hell if this ain't pimping the people I don't know what pimping is. Somebody on the board ought to have said this ain't right. But who else receive a stipend close to that amount? Maybe it is time to check out all boards and commissions.
Terry Smith since you did a good job with researching the tax base of Tarboro and Rocky Mount can you hook us up? Thank you my friend.

Thursday, August 7, 2008 - People's Interest is not represented
The people are not being represented by ElectriCities and city councils have had their heads in the sand getting door prizes at annual meetings. Board members getting paid ensure that they do what the CEO and staff tell them to do. The staff at ElectriCities is completely out of control and people have been getting paid off, even legislators. They know they took stuff and turned their heads.There are three people who lie all day about people. One of them is believed to be crazy. Staff have complained about her for years and the HR person covers for her. She harasses people and threatens them. She is totally tormenting one person right now. That is why people keep leaving. She has driven three people to serious medical conditions with her lies and rantings. No one wants to be near here and some people believe she is going to come in one day, snap and shoot the place up. The CEO listens to her crazy lies all day. She walks around Raleigh lying.
A big fat lawsuit would shut their mouths because when the Poyner and Spruill thieves go to represent them, we will all yell and BOOM, they are on their on.
Problem is - they do not know who they are supposed to be helping. They can come looking for me. I work for some people they do not want in their business. And, I can say the same for others who work for people they do not want snooping in their business. So while they track us, we will track them.
Good job Tilton - spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a day trying to intimidate people and threaten them just like you did to your staff when you knew the truth.
