Rolfe Faces $85 000 Municipal Electric Plant Plan
The Arrow opposes a municipal electric plant in Rolfe under the Simmer law arguing it would raise electric rates, tax burdens, and reduce reliability. Experts estimate costs include $4500 in interest, $1500 for a superintendent, $1200 for a second worker, and $8500 in upkeep over 20 years, with May receipts only $1400–$1500. The paper warns the plan risks higher taxes and worse service, urging voters to consider the tax and rate consequences before July 27.
