FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 16, 2010

"We are concerned that the Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) Board of Directors would terminate its general manager days before two new board members will be elected. This type of decision should wait until the new board members, duly elected by the members, are sworn in.

"The two outgoing directors were part of the legacy board that created the problems at PEC in the first place. They should not have been part of any decision that impacts the future of PEC.

"What PEC members can count on, regardless of the makeup of the PEC board or who is general manager, is that we are committed to transparency and openness at our cooperative. The Legislature will reconvene in January and we will proceed with our effort to statutorily protect members’ rights."
