Co op merger vote looms for Taos Mora San Miguel
Cooperative boards push for a merger between Kit Carson and Mora San Miguel Electric Cooperatives with Taos and nearby areas facing a February vote. Kit Carson backs the merger unanimous and Mora San Miguel 7 3, amid debate on which co op votes first and concerns about interest rate relief from the REA. The plan, if approved by simple majority at each general meeting, aims to save about 7.18 million over 10 years and about 249 dollars per consumer, though REA participation remains uncertain. Mora San Miguel members Carlos Lovato, Saason Ortiz and Frank Tramley voted no.
