What do you want to happen in February?

Do you want to authorize $368M in mill levies and bond issues?

Are you looking for more of the the same old, same old in new board members?

Potential voters don't yet know it, because it is yet to be published by the establishment press, but because a majority of the board is up for election, there is an opportunity to actually change the direction APS will take for the next four years.

There are at least two paths; one is the one we follow now.

We simply surrender control over our power and resources to
a handful of people, and trust that they will spend both in our
best interests.  So far, that has not worked well.  The record of
their spending is so disgraceful, they have to hide it, link.

The fundamental flaw in the path we now follow, is its lack of
transparent accountability in spending and administration.  It is
a poorly lit path.

There is another path; government of, by, and for the people.
It begins with the illumination of government, transparency
limited only by the law; the expressed will of the people.

It is the people who decide what will and will not appear on
the public record, not our servants.  It is we the people who
will determine the limits on speech during public forums.

The terms of public service are the prerogative of the people,
not of their servants.  Fundamental among those terms;
public servants are accountable to the people by means of
transparency and accountability to meaningful standards of
conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours
a day that we must "trust" them with the control over the
wielding of our power and the spending of our resources.

That is your choice in February.
