Governor Cooper said the move to public ownership of utilities through TVA would replace $2.5 million in state and county tax losses and provide cheaper power. He argued local autonomy would grow, and that absentee ownership would end as residents manage local affairs, with projected electric bill savings of 4 to 7 million dollars. The event featured a brief city blackout marking the transfer from TIEPCO to TVA.
