Protect our power distribution

Editor,

The primary election will soon be here and in the race for The Public Service Commission there is only one candidate on the Democrat side. It seems that the Democrat party elite have decided that the radical socialist Ken Toole will be the candidate of their choice.

As consumers of electrical energy in Montana we cannot allow a government takeover of the electrical distribution system such as Ken Toole has proposed. Ken Toole is the worst thing that could happen to the customers of Northwestern Energy anyone could ever imagine.

If his misguided policies were to prevail, the cost of energy would triple and the availability of electricity to the ranchers and small businesses in Montana would be unreliable to the point where we would all have to purchase our own power generating facilities to assure that we would not freeze to death in the winter and would be able to have a hot meal when we were hungry.

In the general election vote for the Republican for PSC Commissioner and save us all from a very dark and cold future.
