Refund plan for Sidney light plant profits proposed by citizens
The letter argues refunds from the municipal light plant sale should be based on each patron’s profit over years of municipal ownership. It estimates $300,000 total refund, distributed by usage and rate, proposes auditing, publishing a detailed per-customer list, and directs funds toward taxes and public works rather than bond payments. The writers urge fair distribution and continued reliable service.
