Letter to the Editor: "We plan for the conversation about a municipal electric utility to continue"

(The following Letter to the Editor has been submitted by Lawrence and Millie Jensen of Decorah):

We have had a home in New Hampton for 50 years which is served by a Municipal Electric Utility.  The service has been excellent, power outage has been minimal and any outage was taken care of very promptly.  The service personnel were great to work with, knowledgeable and competent. 

As of last July we moved to Decorah full-time and have been served by Alliant Energy.  We have received the same quality service from them.  However, the cost of that service has been at least 50 percent higher than it was with the Municipal Electrical Utility in New Hampton.  

We are going to vote 'yes' on May 1st and plan for the conversation to continue."
