My Solution Framed to Freeze Out Competition in Corry

A 1900s Corry City Council scene presents James H Wright’s bold ordinance to grant exclusive power rights to Corry City Electric Light Company while placing municipal control over a ten thousand population threshold. The proposal, pitched by socialist council member Trisket, would bar any new franchise until that threshold is met, with the city able to purchase the existing plant under board oversight. Critics call the plan a nerve wracking, audacious bid that would shield the current firm from genuine competition.

Mr Wright, author of an exclusive franchise plan, urges Corry to avoid granting a competing company a new franchise. He proposes amending terms to give the city a fair option on the current company’s property or to allow the city to operate its own plant. He cites past good faith by councils and notes a thirty five year franchise difference in wording.
