Citizen Petition to the Rocky Mount City Council and Board of ElectriCities of NC
We, the below signed, strongly urge you to use your position of leadership to demand deep budget cuts in the eastern budget of $700 million at ElectriCities of NC.
We appreciate the leadership already exerted by Council Members Andre Knight, Lamont Wiggins and Reuben Blackwell on statements, resolutions and efforts to help the citizens of Rocky Mount. We ask you build on those efforts by supporting them and enacting these cost savings measures for all citizens.
The budget can be cut in the following areas: personnel, salary adjustments/bonuses, sponsorships, economic development, communications, out of state travel, lobbying, consultants, annual meeting. Cuts can easily exceed $5 million.
Further, we urge the cuts be implement before the end of 2008 to be effective now and in the future. And, we urge the application of the cost savings to the wholesale electric rate charged to the City by ElectriCities in order to reduce consumer rates in Rocky Mount.
In addition, we strongly urge new management, at reduced salaries, at ElectriCities, effective immediately, because of the detrimental effects of reckless financial decisions, poor leadership and lack of accountability.
